I want to conform a puck of Colonel Conk to a bowl. Is this a "melt it in" or a "mill it down" soap?

I think it's a "melt it" soap.
Indeed.
It is a melt& pour soap.
I actually do this on a regular basis.
Take the puck out of the package, place in the bowl(I assume heat safe)
put a pan on the stove with a little water(just enough to float the bowl with the soap in it) or if it is too heavy, put something on the bottom to keep the bowl off the bottom. Something sturdy, I happen to have a little steaming rack that fits perfect.
Simmer the bowl till the soap goes liquid.
Remove bowl and let cool.
Or, you could just toss it in the microwave and pour it that way.

Use 10 second bursts in the microwave as it heats up and melts quickly. Maybe 15-20 seconds for my microwave.
Yeah....10 seconds in the microwave followed with maybe 5-7 seconds more should set you up.
Ha, I just seached this topic about a week ago. I melted mine and it turned out great. Same microwave approach.
Just out of curiosity now, how do you mill in a soap?
I just recently melted a puck of col. conk into a coffee mug. Just threw the puck in, a few short bursts in the microwave, and into the fridge overnight. Very easy to do.
I was going to melt up some of the Colonel's amber soap tonight. Anyone have suggestions for what I could melt into it?
A bit of a good unscented cream? Making it into a nice amber SCream?
You could keep the Conk's in the package it came in and use your extra bowl to melt some samples in to!
(just a suggestion)
I looked at the posting... it looks easy enough, thanks.
