After lots and lots of stirring the soap to develop a trace, our soap was ready to pour into the pans to set up. Here is my pan after the second day of sitting.
Tomorrow it might be ready to cut in to bars and then set to cure for 4-6 weeks.
It really wasn't that hard to make the soap and I honestly look forward to making it again sometime! Only this time, I would probably get my own supplies instead of ordering it through a kit and thus I would make a larger batch of soap at one time.
It seems like aquiring lye is a harder thing to do locally. I found a supplier online called: The Lye Guy. I will probably try them next time.

At any rate, it was lots of fun and really neat to see that we could make our own soap!
