2. To a heat-resistant cup or pan add SCI Noodles and Bubble Up. Place cup into simmering water and heat until noodles have completely melted. Add more water, if needed. Mixture will become a white paste. 
3. To a second heat-resistant cup, add stearic acid, emulsifying wax, sal butter, silk amino and LuxGlide. Place cup into simmering water and heat until wax has melted.
4. Remove both from heat.
5. Into mixing bowl, empty contents of first cup. Add contents of second cup and whisk as liquid is added. Continue to whip to help mixture cool.
6. When mixture cools to 122°F, add fragrance oil and preservative and stir.
7. Stir in SCS Noodles and mix in with spoon. Mixture will be lumpy.
8. Press into four cavities of soap mold. Place in freezer overnight.  
9. Turn mold over and gently remove bars.
