Instead of a heating pad to gel...

[Pug Mom]

Has anyone tried one of those portable heaters aimed at the soap? I have a heating pad, but I have to go turn it back on every 15 minutes or so as the new ones sut off automatically and it is a pain. I have the little heater, and I know not to leave the room with it on, but do you think it would help gel the soap? :?:

Hi. All I ever do is cover with plastic wrap and wrap 1 or two towels around my mold. It's MORE than enough heat for me.

Can you get a heating pad that doesn't shut off?

I can't find them, all the ones in the stores now shut off... I have a wooden mold, cover with tin foil and then wrap, and I still get partial gel. Drives me NUTS!

I just got a second one at CVS, it was less than $15 and doesn't shut off. I don't have the box so I can't tell you the brand, but the next time I'm in the drug store I will check. I don't leave it plugged in at night or when I'm gone, just in case, but I've left it on for a few hours at a time.

I will have to look at CVS. Thanks!
