Very easy to cut and melt and pour.. I got into homemade soap recently and started with easy method: melt and pour. I actually found it in local craft store but they run out of Goat Milk one. I went ahead to order on Amazon. It was amazing!- Easy to get out of the package. Just turn upside down and finger to press down. It popped out quicly and neatly.- Easy to cut into pre-lined cubes. It is very soft and any knife (prefer longer one in kitchen) can cut it easily.- Easy to melt. I use double boiler method. I just used a mixing bowl and settled in hot water on stove. (low heat). It melts evenly.- Easy to set after pouring into molds. After 30 min, the soap was almost totally solid. If your local craft store carries it, you might get a better deal such as 50% or 40% off the price with a coupon.I am very happy with this "Life of the Party Suspension Soap Base".
