Add a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. The time will vary according to your microwa- ve; be careful the soap doesn't bubble over the bowl. Stir mixture once or twice. When the soap has dissolved, remove from the microwave and stir. Add the oatmeal gradually, mixing in with a spoon, until you happy with the consistency and the proportion of soap to oatmeal. Pour the soap into a mold and let cool to shape. For larger amounts, you could use a tin can with both ends removed as your mold, then slice into round bars!
