Cutting and Weighing the Soap Base

Place the Pyrex container onto the scale and zero out the weight.

Cut the melt and pour soap base into small chunks and place them into the container until you've got the amount that your mold will hold. A few tenths of an ounce under or over will not matter.

Make sure that your knife, container and cutting board are clean and free of any dirt. The soap will pick it up and it will be hard to get out.
