Rescue CP/OP Tutorial

Now there is regular traditional CP soap where the cold process soap batter is left in a soap mold to saponify. There is hot process which you have a cold process soap batter cook in a slow cooker.  And there is another option...CP/OP which is cold process /oven process where the soap batter is placed in the oven to cook or saponify. You will will need to cure the soap for two weeks in a mold but this process is highly attractive if you are on a deadline.  If you are interested in learning more about this process then check out the posting from Rustic Escentuals called Rescue CP/OP Tutorial. This tutorial gives you all the information you need to know to make soap by this process.

Rescue CP/OP Tutorial

Are you fairly new to making soap by the cold process and you are wondering if there is another way to make cold process soap without the six week curing period? Would you believe that there is?   Well, here is a tutorial from Rustic Escentuals Crafting Library called Rescue CP/OP Tutorial. CP/OP stand for cold process/oven process.  What that means is that you start your batch like you would with cold process then instead of letting it fully saponify over a long period of time, you put the batch in the oven, on a low temp of course, to help speed up the saponification process. This tutorial by Dreaming Tree Soapworks discusses the pros and cons of CP/OP soap making and how to do it.
