how long do you need to wait for cp soap to cure before using it for handmilling? I have a friend of mine that does cp soap and has offered to make goat milk soap for me, but I don't know how long to wait until I can use it for handmilling. Anyone know? :?

I would wait at least 2 weeks. But even better would be 4-6 weeks. The longer it cures the less water there is in it and the so it will take more water during rebatching.

For handmilling (rebatching) you don't have to wait at all. The sooner you do it the better.

Thank you both, now I just need to get everything to her, my dh is building her 3 molds to hold 8 pound batches each, so just waiting on him.

You don't want to make your own CP from scratch without the need for re-milling? :wink:

Actually no, I had a horrific accident as a child with lye and I'm scared to use it. I like hand milling to be honest.

Exactly.
