Teach Soap

Hello,

I made a soap last night that is CP and put it in the fridge, it got pretty thick when I put it in the mold. This morning I took it out and pulled off one end so I could see it. The bars are not as high as I'd like and aren't smooth on top due to the thick trace.

So I've never poured M&P on top of CP soap before (well I did it once but it was soap that was rebatched).

The soap is almost at room temperature (as I know pouring warm M&P onto of cold CP won't work) room temperature but do I have to wait until the soap has fully cured before adding the MP on top or can I do it before it's cured? Also will the MP adhere to the CP well? The one time I tried it on a rebatch it worked great.

If you add melted MP to room temp CP, the layers might not stick together.

soapbuddy,

Thanks, should I chill the soap up and then try and add the M&P or is it a lost cause at this point? My other option is do add more CP to the top of it and reswirl (don't think that's a word) as I'm about to make another batch of another scent anyway.

I would use this batch as is. It really is best to add MP to CP while the CP is still warm.

soapbuddy,

Thanks.

You're welcome.
Another way to add MP to CP is to add the chunks/pieces into the CP and don't gel so they don't melt..
