Bath Salt Bars

Step 4 Taking Shape

Line the bottom of your form or mold with wax paper or cheese clothe (if you can reasonably do so.)

Carefully pour the heated mixture into the mold. Be careful the mixture is quite warm... Also the mixture will continue to expand for a while so only fill the form 1/2 to 3/4 full.

You're done just about all you can for now... set things aside and let them cool.

After the top of the mixture is cool to the touch, flip the mold over on to a cookie sheet or other hard surface. Gently tap the form to release the bath salt chunk. Slowly and carefully peel the wax paper or cheese clothe from the chunk.

Allow the chunk to cool for another 5 to 10 minutes.

You're now ready to cut the bath salt into bars.
Using a sharp knife carefully cut the block into the desired size bars, then leave them to cool some more.

Great instructable, when i went out i couldn't find any essantial oils, so i just bought a bag of scented Epsom Salt... it works well too.

Hmm, Maybe try adding more salt, and reheating? I'm not sure...

 Mine never dried, I followed the instructions word for word, and even left them for a half an hour but it never dried. Any suggestions? It wasnt ewt it was just kinda mushy.
