~A: Oven processing is a way to get your CP soap to be ready to use faster. Often used in conjuction with a Water Discount or Deep Water Discount, after your soap has traced and been molded, you place it in a pre-heated 200 degree oven. After placing the soap in the oven, turn the oven off and do not open it for at least 12 hours! This will evaporate a little of the water out of it and force it into gel stage longer. This process can shave 2-3 weeks off of the normal (approximate) 4 week cure time.
