Meridith Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 If you do a CP soap and have to rebatch it, does it still have to cure as long? I've been curing mine for just as long but I got to wondering - When I rebatch, I use my crockpot which I feel cooks the soap again so I was wondering if that added heat then acts like the HP in that your soap can then be used right away? I hope that made sense. LOL TIA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 None of you seasoned soapers have an answer? Bumping up to see if anyone knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovejunkandstuff Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Still new to soaping I do not know for sure. I have however read that alot of people do that process on purpose to create different soap like adding different extras to one base soap making several different scents... but have read it does speed the cure time as long as there is not too much liquid added. Then you have to wait for the drying instead soapification. (spelling sorry)Waiting gives you a longer lasting and harder bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebcandles Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 No matter which process you use, you still need to let the soap cure. Soap is like wine, the more it ages, the better it gets.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks EB! I've been letting them cure as long as other soaps. That's kind of what I thought but I got to wondering and started to second guess myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm actually one who likes to rebatch. I've been known to make a CP just to rebatch it. And yes, it does still need to cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
