I have decided to try forcing gel so I don't have to wait 5+ days to cut them cleanly. The problem with using our stove is that I'll be constantly competing with The Boyfriend, who loves to cook and is always using it.

I want to try putting a heating pad under the mold - does anyone do this and have any pointers?

Yes you can, but it might take longer for the soap to fully gel. Can you use the oven on low?

I have used the heated floor tiles in the bathroom and then wrapped my soap mold in an old duvet. Works brilliantly.

If you use the heating pad, put a low box or pan over your soap mold and then cover that with a towel or blanket to keep the heat in better. 8)

I use the exact set-up that ljm describes with heating pad & box + blankets. The soaps always gel perfectly. I click the heating pad on high (which is under the box). It automatically turns off after two hours.

Here's what it looks like:

It's so encouraging to e-meet a community of soap makers. Is there any specific heating pads you use? I was going to try the PureRelief XL - King Size Heating Pad with Fast-Heating Technology since looks pretty cheap online.
