Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Hi Debbie, cp=cold process hp=hot process cphp=the combo of the two which hp pretty much covers really cpop=cold process, oven process Cold process you wait for the lye and oils to cool to a specific temp before mixing together. You then mold and let " cook " . These soaps have to cure before using. Hot process soapmaking is like the crockpot type. You don't have to wait for the lye to cool you can just mix it with the oils right in the crockpot and then cook the soap for an hour or so. You mold it, cool it and then can use it right away. I consider the cphp when you start off doing cp but then decide to cook it instead. Like the crock pot method you can use the soap right after you cut it or unmold it. I've not done the cpop, but it is becoming very popular in the soaping world. That is where you do your cold process get it to trace, pour into an oven safe mold (whatever that is) and then bake it in the oven at a low temp for however long it takes to cook. This too doesn't have to cure as long as the cp only. You really should give soapmaking a try. However, be prepared to become addicted if you should like it.
