so far I have done 3 different recipes,when the solid at room temp oils out weigh the liquid oils the finished soap gets hard faster than if your recipe had more liquid at room temp oils. I had no problem getting my soap out of the molds with that first recipe,that is the soap in the first picture,I used some soap paints I'd bought from BB awhile back ,I'm not really sure how long the color will hold up ,but my guess is a long time as its not like a water color ,its heavier than that. Im no expert but I have found all 3 recipes to be pliable enough where you should have no problem stamping in a design,later today i will post the name of the book I bought on HP,it is a wonderful sorce for everything HP.
