I'm not an expert in these things, but i wouldn't think it would matter? But you know those little 'halos' we get around the embeds? Perhaps that is caused by too much time difference between the embed and the new soap? I dunno.
As you know Mr Zing, I am a fly by the seat of my pants soaper - a maverick shall we say, a maverick who hates faffing around. I do what I want, when i want, and my embeds have to just do as they are told.

This hasn't been my experience when the embed is inside of the soap.
Fair enough. I had less luck with these cube embeds, but that was also a trickier geometry than a single column embed would be. They had been just above two weeks old, and already firm to the touch and agreeable lathering. I CPOP'd the mosaic soap as thoroughly as I could (even gave it an emergency CPOP after two days, since I didn't dare unmould it earlier), but still the adhesion of the matrix batter to the embeds was not very satisfactory.
Faffing around - doing bits of things, annoying and/or fiddly work and not making progress, probably in a way not even likely to make progress.

Pretty good Tara! Mind you - you DO live over that way so you bloody-well should know!Faffing around - doing bits of things, annoying and/or fiddly work and not making progress, probably in a way not even likely to make progress.
Chuffed - pleased, content, maybe with a small side order of smug.

Darn tootin'!!
How you say in English?
You are most welcome my dear. Have a good day.Thank you everybody for your help.
Those with English as their first language might not realize how hard it may be for a non native speaker to understand when people start using informal expressions. Bilingual dictionaries register informal expressions only after longer use, and although there are many places on the internet explaining informal talk I am primarily interested in making soap and not in studying (informal) English.
Which, however, does not mean I expect anybody to stop speaking informally and use the 18th century novel English

What is probably not apparent is that this all started because SOMEONE (sounds similar to MiniGoose) started using phrases that, while ostensibly consisting of English words, were totally unfamiliar to some of us native English speakers from certain countries.
And also - notice how it is fine to say 'bloody' on here whereas anything else gets changed to 'kitten love' or some other more visually/audibly appealing word. When I was growing up, 'bloody' was a really bad swear word. Nowadays it seems to have fallen out of favour and people use the f word instead.
Yes, I do very much think so. The cubes are just too many (and too large) for the batter to properly embed them. Worked much better with smaller embeds (though this wasn't CP), cutting went like a breeze through >1 year old soap (that had been blocked from curing through a cozy M&P coat).
Hmm. What might this elusive “simple” be, that everyone is recommending to keep?
