I have visited this subject quite a while ago but would like to get an update from members with any new comments..
I have a lot of rebatch soap shreds and want to rebatch them with a new batch of soap using the CP method. Has anyone had success doing this? I have rebatched just plain soap shreds in the past with good success but hate the confetti look and working with the gooey mess trying to get it into a mold; however I have heard that by incorporating gelled or wet shreds into a new batch of CP soap oils then heating it to where the shreds will melt and then further stick blend them tell blended with the new hot oils, then add the appropriate lye/water amounts calc’ed on just the new oils and stick blend to trace and pour this into my mold. Any help here would be appreciated…I have about 10 pounds of rebatched shreds to work through.

I don't have an answer to your question - but I am intrigued by it. Being a "trial and error/gotta see it myself" type, my advice is:

Try it and see! Who knows...maybe you'll stumble upon a new technique?

If you put in your shreds into your melted oils and leave them there, they will soften up. Then stick blend the whole thing. I add about 1/3 shreds to 2/3 new soap.
