I want to pick up some melt and pour for embeds on top and can't decide which brand to pick. WSP, Brambleberry, or SFIC? Thanks!
 
I believe that I've tried the SFIC one, and the only issue I had was that it tended to cool very quickly...in the sense that I didn't have much time between the melting and pouring to get it into the mold. If you don't need much time for coloring and pouring, then that wouldn't be an issue for you. And that may just be a normal feature of LSMP, I haven't tried the others.
 
Bramble Berry sells the SFIC base. I haven't tried any of the low sweat bases though, because all the reviews state that they reharden very quickly. I just use regular MP, but I package with shrink wrap so I don't worry about the sweating problem
 
I have used both the base from Brambleberry and from WSP. In my experience, the WSP base was terrible. I found it to sweat nearly as much as regular MP. It also became very soft and mushy with use, and I typically threw half a bar away. The Brambleberry base does not sweat at all, and stays solid to the last little sliver. The base does reharden quickly and it is a little more drying to my skin, but I think for embeds it would work well.
