Weigh Out the Soap

David Fisher
Weigh out your soap and fragrance oil. Each cavity of this particular mold is 3.5 ounces.

3 cavities x 3.5 ounces = 10.5 ounces of soap.

I scented it at about 3%.

10.5 ounces x 3% = .32 ounces (rounded down to .3 ounce)

Melt the soap in the microwave or double boiler.
