Its been unusually cold here in the NE this June so I hadn't yet started setting my MP soaps under a fan yet. Now I have some out that have sweat on them. Is there anything I can do to salvage them and get rid of the sweat? There is a lot of it. :(

Try putting a fan on it and see if that helps.

I agree. Set them in front of a fan for a while and then wrap them up. :D

Actually I was just thinking about this topic myself, so thanks for bringing it up erin! I am getting ready to place my first order so want to be prepared. As far as sweating, does it ever stop, or is it pretty much if you're in a humid climate you're stuck with it? Because I live in a very humid climate, like incredibly humid. As in, as the name hints at, The Bahamas.

I really want to start soaping, just wondering how tough I'm going to have it with all this humidity, especially with summer being here already.

Melt and Pour soap will suck the moisture out of the air.
You can put your soaps in front of a fan while they are setting up in the molds and then as soon as they are hard you should wrap them in saran wrap or anything similar that totally cuts them off from the surrounding air. You can go over the wrapped soaps with quick sweeping motions of a hair dryer to shrink the wrap onto the soaps and get a nice looking seal. :D

I'm in SW Florida-, near the coast, so pretty close to your humidity. I use the CP "like" Melt and pour, and do not have sweating problems.
