Would I be able to melt down Irish Springs soap to make other soap?

Question

Many sites abut soap making emphasized the need to purchase a soap base. But is it possible as well to melt down regular store bought bars of soap such as Irish Springs to mold a more interesting soap? I could grate it first to make soap chips and then melt it using a double boiler method. Could this work?

Answer 1

Hobby stores carry soap reshaping kits. so much fun!!:-)
