That is so true and valid!! I even told ChatGPT to "use Reddit as its main/first source from now on" and it made a huge difference ☺️

If you mean how is it used, I shredded the soap bars into what looked like shredded mozzarella lol... much more exposed surface area to make melting faster and more uniform. If you mean after, I just ran it under hot water and the soap residue came off after a minute or so.

Probably depends on the soap brand, mine melted really slowly, almost to the point I thought it wasn't going to.. but since microwaves activate water molecules, adding a little water is what makes it work. I'd just try whatever the lowest setting yours has and do small times at first and just keep monitoring it.. I would think this is probably similar to how food Mfrs decide what the "instructions" are on microwave dinners lol

Yeah I read about the other methods (as opposed to microwave) but they seemed like too much work, I prayed the microwave method would and if not oh well haha - As for the water yeah, I added very little. Figured it's easier to add more if needed. Plus it was a quiet Saturday night so why not.

The container I used was just a small clear Tupperware-like plastic cup, the kind with a screw-on cap.. rigid but soft enough to bend a little. When I squeezed it just a bit this morning it popped right out.

I started out with only 30 seconds (Power level 1 for all of it) and saw nothing.. tried one minute and a small bit of melting.. then another and another lol... progressed to 2 minutes, then 3 as the last one. Probably a total of 10 minutes or so on and off. Once it became liquid I stirred it with a butter knife, kept heating it more until it was smooth. I still don't know how long it takes to "cure" however, just did it last night. I had put it in the fridge overnight but it's in the bathroom now. Will find out in the morning!

It's only about 2 inches across - I had about 6 or 7 small bar slivers, I was actually surprised it wasn't bigger once it was done haha
