Can I melt down this bar to use in making my own soaps?

I'm only guessing, but I would say yes. It looks very unfinished and it contains large chunks of the ingredients. It lathers perfectly, so I like it the way it is. It would probably need to be ground up to use for a better looking bar.

Yes you can, only takes a little warm fluid and it melts nice and stays liquid at this point!

I would definitely melt it. It has a wax like consistency so it would be quite difficult to whip up. This seller is great because they send you recipes as to what u can mix and use it for.

Yes. Boil it to the point that is completely melted. Once it coils down clip the aluminum tab inside.

Yes. Don't worry, of you use them to make soap, don't worry that this is not felxable.

Of course you can do it, do not do it in the electrical oven because the handle is gonna melt.

Hi Arlene, I have never done that before and would be afraid to. I always deforst all products before exposing it to extremely high temperatures. P

As there aren't any controls for the heating temperature, I wouldn't use it for melting wax for craft purposes. I'm not a crafter but I wouldn't trust it.

Yes, these pots are perfect for making handmade cold process soaps. I have been using them for several years to make soap and have not had any issues with them. I heat my oils slowly since the pots are thin. Just keep a thermometer in the pot while melting the oils so that you can constantly see the temperature.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

I would not suggest doing that since it is designed to be collapsible and is uneven due to the different sizes of the bar and the release button in the middle which will show up in your background and damage it. If you do not plan on collapsing it, you could get a piece of PVC pipe (Home Depot, Lowe's etc) to be used as sleeve over the bar.

The soap is soft, yet firm enough to hold shape. If you squeeze it firmly, especially when it is moist, you can shape the bar to your hand. Also, depending upon the shape and size of the RAW soap you received you might want to take a sharp knift, put the soap bar on a firm surface, and cut the soap to the desired size. You cannot let this soap set in standing want or it will literally melt. I apply it directly rubbing softly. A wash cloth is not necessary in my opinion. A really great soap that cleans thoroughly but leaves no soapy sticky feeling behind. Hope this helps. Side note, do not bbuy this soap if 'looks' is important. This is RAW 'home-made soap. Same as the difference between buying processed honey vs. raw, unprocessed, unheated honey. They look very different.

I use mine to make coconut oil soap, so I don't have an answer for you. Sorry.

Yes you can. It can also be used for soap and other things. I think there might be some videos on YouTube about it.

I'm going to guess probably. My molding is slightly damaged from use. I would imagine damage would be worse without any molding. I probably should have put a towel or something between the bar and the molding to prevent wear.
