My much discussed palmolive stick joined the remains of other soaps residing in my souffle dish. I chopped it up not to finely and chopped up the other soap remains. Roughly mixed the two soaps with perhaps too much water. I tried to squish the chopped soap together but didn't have much luck because each time I lifted the implement (coke bottle) up, the soap came with it. Then I tried a fork. What an excellent tool for this job. Press down and slide back (don't lift) and the soap simply slides off the prongs. My souffle dish was then placed onto the radiator to get rid of the water and I now have an excellent cake of soap. :mrgreen:
