It didn't work for me. I ended up with a gallon of very watery soap.. Before I tried it I read most of the comments, I changed the amount of water it calls for, choosing to use less at first since some of the other readers had said that theirs ended up very watery as well...
I started with 6 cups of water, 1 bar of soap, and the glycerin as called for in the recipe.. It was actually fun grating soap.. After everything was mixed, I set it aside to let it thicken.. It smelled amazing.. I checked it in the morning, the next afternoon and the next morning still just watery soap.. So after 24 hours I added a second bar of soap, 2 more cups of water (so I could melt the second bar of soap) and more glycerin, I let that sit 24 hours and it still never thickened up..
What did I do wrong? Well apparently it matters what kind of soap is used.. So I might revisit this tutorial because I would love for it to work. Next time I'll use the soaps that the other readers (that were able to accomplish the right consistency) have used.. Any suggestions?
To be continued...
