DIY MP Soap Instructions
Step 1:Slice up the soap base, so it will melt faster.If you are melting the base in a microwave oven, use a special heat-resistant dish, glass or plastic cups, 100mls (100 grammes) of base melts in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.Using water bath, the base melts at 158-176CF.
Step 2: Add Mica Powder Pigments at the rate of 0.002-0ml per 100ml (100 grammes) of soap base, depending on how saturated colour you want to get.When you add Powder Pigments to melted soap base, stir thoroughly the mass in order to avoid lumps.For more convenience, it's also possible to add small amount of glycerin or spirits to Mica Powder Pigments and then add this mixture to liquid base.Then pour the soap into the mould, sprinkling it with alcohol, and repeat this procedure afterwards, as the foundation was poured, this must be done to remove small bubbles and foam.
Step 3: Alcohol is also used when making multi-layer soap.You need to sprinkle the frozen layer before pouring the next one - the layers are better attached to each other and do not break down during the use.1.6kg (1588 grammes) of the base freezes in the mould on average in 5 hours.
