Answer:

Sorry but I'm not sure what you are attempting to do.

The recipes on my site are for making cold process soaps and not melt and pour soap bases.

Once the soap hardens with cold process soap making, you simply cut it into bars and then let the soap cure for 4 - 6 weeks. Then you use it.

You can grate it up and rebatch it but it doesn't actually melt like melt and pour soap bases.

I'm afraid I don't know how to make the raw soap for melt and pour soaps.

A common type soap (bought in shops or CP/HP) is not meltable, only soluble in water. If you want to melt the soap, you have to use MP soap, what is a mixture of soap and some types of alcohol.
