<VV> SOAP - No Corvair

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

James,  
 
When the soap in the shower gets too small to be convenient,  what I do is 
"weld" the small piece of soap to the next full cake of soap.   While I 
shower with the new full cake, I let the thin remnant of soap soak in  water in 
the soap holder on the wall.  By the end of my shower, the remnant  has a 
thin layer of soap "mush" on one side.  I press this onto the full  cake until 
the edges of the remnant "weld" to the large cake.  By the next  shower, 
the mush has dried and the remnant is a permanent part of the new  cake.  If 
the old remnant is the same kind and color of soap as the new  cake, it isn't 
very obvious that they are "welded."  Even if the two soaps  are different, 
the remnant is used up fairly quickly depending on how thin it  was when it 
was attached.
 
I suppose you could do the same thing with your small souvenir  soap from 
the hotel.  It won't have a smooth transition between the two  pieces of soap 
but it will work.

Some time ago, back  when the snow was falling, someone on VV made a 
comment about turning all the  little hotel bars of soap we take home with us into 
big bars of soap.   

I'm curious, being a conservative kind of guy who hates throwing out  
anything which might be useful at a future date .  Some less kind folks  call it 
packrattng.  I'm also old enough to remember my paternal  grandmother making 
soap on her stove.  But I pretty sure I don't want to  recreate that 
process!  

So if one or more of you know how to do  this small soap pieces to big soap 
bars, please contact me off-line at  ricebugg at comcast.net

Historically Yours,
James
