Sorry about the subject line, but I'm getting SO FRUSTRATED! Just made a clear soap with embeds in it, in a 350g mould. Look great from the top down, but looking at it sideways it's foggy, cloudy, horrid; defeats the object. The inside of the mould is smooth and shiny, so I don't think it's that that's causing the problem ... am I not leaving the soap for long enough to unmould it (I'm very impatient, especially with a new idea!), or is it the FO causing the problem? Is there any way of 'polishing' the outside to clear the fug on the surface (I've seen panty hose recommended for polishing candles ... ?). I'm so hacked off with it, I can't tell you!

Foggy? Could be the fragrance. Try it without the fragrance and see what you think. Also, I've seen defective soap base that melted clear but then hardened foggy or white so if ditching the fragrance doesn't work for you, definitely repost and let us know. And of course, photos are always rad for diagnosising problems. =)

what kind of embed did you use? I recently did one with an eraser, and some of the color from the eraser bled into the clear part of the soap. Very frustrating, as it was a very lovely scent and apart from my bleeding hotdog, it would have been quite a cute soap!

Sorry, all of you; meant to post the pic yesterday. It's self-explanatory, I think; same soap in both cases, but the 'goldfish bowl' is pants, isn't it? Could be a number of reasons for it, but you'll know far more than I do! Options are:
1: taking it out of the mould too soon;
2: the 'sand' in the bottom of the bowl is Crystal Clear (Kay's), with oatmeal in it. Never had an issue with oatmeal before ... ;
3: the 'water weed' is opaque M&P coloured with pigment green (supposedly non-bleed);
4: I put too much blue lab colour into it (2 drops);
5: God simply doesn't want me to make goldfish soap!

I'm determined to make this work ... might try it without the sand/weed and see what happens ...

What 'crystal clear' base do all of you out there use? Your clear seems to be SOOO much better than the one I'm using.

I tried to pm your account but no luck so I'll tell you half of what I was going to mention. The thickness that light passes thru between the bag and the bowl are different so the light has to go threw a thicker part perhaps that makes sense. Also I'm sure the oatmeal clouded this up, I'd ditch it. Love the expressions it's pants, meaning the bottoms?? lol :lol:

hahaha, my boyfriend says that expression too, he's British...I'm guessing it must be a British expression. I've never heard anyone else use it before.
