I just made my 1st soap ever - question

[Fat Cat]

Wow, I just made my 1st ever soap and I think it all went according to plan, Yay !!! The recipe I had didn't say what to do once I have made it, do I wrap in up in towels or do I put it in the fridge? I know I have to leave it for 24hrs before I cut and dry it for 4-6 weeks before use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the recipe contained any milks, beers, honey or other sugars, then I'd put it in the fridge so it doesn't overheat. Otherwise you can wrap it to ensure that it gels if you want.

Thanks. I did put a wee bit of icing sugar in the recipe, but I have wrapped it up and it seems fine. I cant wait to see how it turns out. I can understand how this could be addictive.
