    Default Scuttle and soap

    I was wondering if anyone has tried to line the top of their scuttle with tinfoil or wax paper and poring heated/melted soap in. I'm thinking that would be a way to precisely form the soap to the upper bowl. I'm currently using Williams soap and it doesn't fit my scuttle.

    Thanks.

    That would probably work.

    Williams soap doesn't melt for squat. Only glycerine soaps melt and pour like that, hard soaps tend to scorch before they melt. It can be done, but it's tricky -- you'll need a double boiler and a really good thermometer.

    I really wasn't thinking about trying that with the Williams. I was thinking about maybe trying Mama Bears unsented shaving soap or the Bay rum scented or taking a walk around Crabtree and Evelyn (I can't even describe how much I hate going to the mall!) and seeing what they have.

    Ray,

    I wonder if wax paper would work better. Heat and pour the soap, then you cold remove the wax paper and just leave the soap behind.

    I wonder if wax from a dripping candle would work?
    Or you could plug the holes with cling wrap.....
