Does it take a long time?
Here is the answer to your next soap making question:
The actual making of the soap takes an hour or two, then if you have used the melt and pour method the soap is ready to use once it has set, usually the following day.
If you use the cold process then once the soap has set and been removed from the mold it needs to be left to cure for 2 - 4 weeks. This curing procedure eliminates all surplus lye from the soap making it milder and it also gives the soap time to dry and harden, which makes it last a lot longer than store bought soap.
If you use the hot process the actual making of the soap takes maybe 2-3 hours, but since heat is used to force the saponification process to complete, the soap is ready to be used in a day or two.
More soon.
