Hello... I am another " newbie," having just done M&P for about 5 years now. Am graduating to CP and am a little apprehensive but anxious too. One thing I did want to share-- after much trial and error I finally got my M&Ps to stop sweating. It's kind of a process but it works! I wrap them in saran wrap- tight, within 5 minutes from the time I demold. Then I put them in a ziploc, squeeze as much air as I can out of the bag, throw in a silica gel pack and seal. Then I put them in a big plastic container box with a lid in a room with all doors and windows shut (most days). I have a dehumidifier running a few hours a day and so far, so good. May try eliminating one of the steps eventually but for now it's working so am inclined not to mess with it. Why fix something that ain't broke? Looking forward to lots of great convos here!

Hi Maria - and welcome!
As you can see, we've not had much (any) discourse here on M&P soaps, but any expertise on same would be welcome.
Please feel free to post anything you wish on the topic (including a copy of your post above) in the "Melt & Pour" topic section here to get it started. You can include an image in original topic posts, too (and your own pic to replace the 'faceless avatar' image on all of your posts).
Feel free to post any questions or concerns you might have on lye+oils soaps and we'll be glad to help!
