SO HOW'D IT GO?
Just use a stainless steel pot for this?
By "bar of soap" do you mean bath soap, or something along the lines of Castile or Sunlight soap?
I used Sunlight the first time and a castile the second time. I have read about people using homemade soap and also using liquid castile soap, but I have not personally tried these. Due to the fact that bars are all different sizes that is why I put up weights (but they are estimates).
