  2. Add 0.10 oz. green color block. Heat in microwave until completely melted.
  3.  Add 0.50 oz. fragrance oil to melted soap.
  4. Place loaf mold on scale and tare to zero. Fill with 20 oz. of green soap and spritz with rubbing alcohol. Pour the remaining soap into a rectangle clamshell and let harden.
