M&P - After preparing your M&P soap base, check the temperature with a thermometer, and verify that it is below 194°F, optimally 150-160°F. Pour the soap slowly and steadily into the mold.
CP - After preparing your CP soap base, pour the soap at a light trace, slowly and steadily into the mold.
Overfill the mold cavity by pouring an excess into the funnel. This will act as a reserve and eliminate any large air pockets from forming at the top of the bar.
Lightly tap the mold onto the table to release any trapped air, and if necessary, refill the funnel reserve.
