M & P embeds in CP Soap

[Judiraz]

I see lots of beautiful soaps using m&p embeds in cp soap. Is there any problem with the embeds sweating?

I've only embedded MP in CP once, and the embeds did sweat a bit when first unmolded, but are dry now.

I am curious about this as well. I have only done it a couple of times (MP swirls into CP) and so far - about six weeks, there is not too much sweating, ie; the soap looks pretty "normal". But I would have expected more really, since MP is already saponified and CP is not. Will continue to watch and wait, wonder if anyone has long term results to report.

I use lots of MP embeds in CP soaps, mine do tend to sweat for the first few days...I keep an eye on them and spritz them a few times a day for the first few days until I can see that they have stopped sweating. It requires some babysitting, but it works

What do you spritz them with? Alcohol?

I spritz with 91%alcohol. Works great.

I just did a drop swirl with MP in a CP soap and didn't get sweating. I used a low sweat soap just to be sure.

Yes, sorry - rubbing alcohol 91% to 99%
