I thought you might get a charge out of seeing how I cure/dry my soap bars. I dry them in the cellar with a dehumidifier that keeps the place bone dry. Picture below.
It has been revealed at work that I make soap and everyone is clamoring to get some. I can't keep up with the demand. My stock of "old" dried soaps is rapidly diminishing. I've been making lots of new stuff, but, as we know, those won't be ready for quite some time. The ones I have ready to go are 2.5 years old - hard as rocks, and, miraculously, still quite fragrant. I've started wearing a backpack to work to help me carry all the soap. (Some of you might be concerned about an apparent newbie like myself unleashing his soap on an unsuspecting public. Actually, years ago, I used to make TONS of soap. I had a basic recipe that I followed , based on a recipe by Susan Cavitch Miller. I didn't use colors back then and the only thing that actually varied was the scents I would use.)
