Pouring the Melted Soap into the Pot

It took about 6 minutes for the 4 lbs. of soap base to melt completely.

I poured about 18 oz. of soap base into my melt pot. The handle/spigot is really easy to open and close. You'll note that I have a towel down the front of the cabinets under the pour spout. I did this to prevent any drops and dribbles from getting on the cabinets. But the flow of soap out of the spigot was very even and controlled. The only drips were onto the floor after I had closed the spigot.
