Hey Bob, What is the Melt and Pour Soap?

[Ridge Runner]

In your latest technical with HAM you are testing pellet penetration with "melt and pour" soap.  What is it?

I bought the case of 12 bricks and still have a few I have never melted....I melt it in a pot suspended in boiling water and cast it into "Baker's Secret" pans.... They are available in many sizes and shapes.... Skim of any foam before it sets, and then once set put it into a fridge for a few minutes to shrink it.... That allows it to fall out of the pan when turned upside down and banged on the counter.... Put it in a plastic bag to keep it from absorbing water when stored, otherwise the surface gets very slippery....
