Place the glycerin soap base in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on medium heat for one minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave and gently stir until no solid chunks remain. If the soap base isn't completely melted, you may heat it in the microwave it for an additional minute. Fill the spray bottle with rubbing alcohol. Lightly spray the soap molds with rubbing alcohol to prevent air bubbles from forming on the finished soap. Carefully pour the melted soap base into the molds. Fill the molds completely for the best results. Spray a small amount of alcohol on the surface of the filled soap molds to keep air bubbles from forming. Let the soap sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or until it's hard. Place the soap in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove the soap from the freezer. Allow it to sit for several minutes. Remove the finished bars of soap from the mold. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap until you're ready to use them.
