    Halp! Cancer Patient Skin Cream

    I am supporting a friend that is going through chemotherapy now. The Chemo instruction book from the Cleveland Clinic recommends Fragrance Free/Unscented soaps and lotions for their skin. His skin is now more sensitive and itchy several months after starting chemo.

    Soap “sweating??

    that's glycerin dew due to the humidity in the air. Different MP bases have different "sweating" tendencies. Ambient temperature/humidity also has an effect on MP soap. If I am not immediately wrapping my MP soap after it hardens, I keep the soap covered until I am able to wrap the MP soap...

    Problem with my sealer

    sounds like there is a short somewhere. Did u try removing the metal sides/ teflon tape to get down to the heating element strip -- look through the opening near that screw (underneath the blue metal cover) to see if you can see some kind of metal or wiring touching and causing that spark...

    Prevent sweating without Shrink Wrap?

    WSP has low sweat MP bases. I'm able to leave those out unwrapped for 2 weeks without attracting glycerin dew. But it all depends on the environment the soap is stored in-- dry or humid.

    M&P soap toy surprises

    mp soap does not sweat when kept dry and covered with plastic or shrink wrap. I have some MP bar soap a year old inside plastic wrap and there is no glycerin dew on it at all. You should be ok after letting your bath bomb and mp soap dry out before wrapping. however I do not know the ingredients...

    Beginner question: can soap bases be defective?

    200 is a little high but if the soap isn't rubbery then its ok. I usually try to stay below 180 but it always depends on the manufacturer and the soap base itself. honey base will liquify faster than coconut and so forth.

    Can't get m & p liquid

    There are several brands of Melt n Pour soap. Catalina, SFIC, Stephenson, WSP. The trend of taking store bought soap and "melting" it down is not true Melt n Pour.

    Beginner question: can soap bases be defective?

    some MP bases..especially the sulfate free bases do not suds up as much as other soaps. I like using a soap saver bag to increase suds but have gotten used to the creamy lather MP soap offers instead of bubbly suds.

    Beginner question: can soap bases be defective?

    There was another post recently about Stephenson's MP soap not melting properly. Stephensons has a higher melting point than WSP's. Try heating it up longer and checking the temp with a infrared thermometer. Sometimes you have to go higher than the recommended temp in order to get it liquid...

    My First Time Using Melt & Pour

    Melt n Pour soap is high in glycerin and will feel sticky especially when just recently made. I find my bars are less sticky after maybe a couple weeks. You will find that some kinds of MP are more stickier than others. Always wrap your MP soap soon after unmolding. I usually do not leave my...

    Highest temp question

    I accidentally heated my WSP MP base to 200. it became cloudy and extra bubbly...other than that it was ok. I think highest temp varies according to type of soap and manufacturer.
