Basic M & P Glycerine Microwave
Soap Making Instructions

Melt and pour glycerine soap base is a great way to make soap, and unlike traditional soap making - it is not too dangerous to do with children, although adult supervision is necessary. Average time start to finish is about 30 minutes. This method requires the use of a microwave oven and a heat resistant container (I like to use a Pyrex measuring cup).

1. Place Glycerine Soap Base in a microwave safe container.
2. Microwave on low for 10 seconds.
3. Stir.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until fully melted.
5. Stir in dye and scent (if desired).
6. Pour into mold.
7. Allow to cool fully before removing from mold. The finished product is a beautiful soap.

Tip:You can make soap on a rope by embedding a loop of square braid wicking before the soap starts to cool.

SAFETY: Products should not be ingested. Avoid skin and eye contact with concentrated scent oil. Use caution when handling melted soap to prevent burns. Adult supervision required.
