I put a silpat on the bottom of the oven and put a tray on top, then put a tray on each of the 2 racks. If I use smaller silicone molds, I can turn the whole oven into a 12 scent soap machine. AMY: you can try putting your log molds in at an angle..thats what I have to do for my 5lb log molds. <br /><br />My oven goes down to 170 so luckally I haven't had too many discolorations, though a soap I made for guys turned blue to purple..so..oops? Its my favorite process since I am so impatientblackdahliadesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974114668091680590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311017639895537111.post-82601324146683758212010-10-18T12:02:17.347-04:002010-10-18T12:02:17.347-04:004:20!4:20!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311017639895537111.post-6898436185698868612010-10-09T21:12:23.780-04:002010-10-09T21:12:23.780-04:00Great tutorial!!

I agree that you must cover the soap to avoid the ash monster.

I finally found a great solution: use a silpat over the soap in the oven. You'll need to weigh it down with something to keep it airtight. My wood mold has a lid that goes over the Silpat, but I imagine a cookie sheet sitting on the top would work fine too.Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825826597565796467noreply@blogger.com
