So I keep trying and failing at making curls for the tops of my soaps. They keep breaking before I even get part way through. What am I doing wrong? They are cracking as I cut the soap with the peeler and then just break. Do I need to add more glycerin to my soap to do this? Hints, ideas???

Is the soap still warm, so it's easy to curl? Try that.

So you think I might be waiting too long? Hmm, I will have to try it sooner

If you wait til the soap is completely cold, it tends to break.
