I did not wrap soon my melt and pour soap bars that I made and I checked them yesterday and they have sweated really bad. What can I do to save these? are they a total loss? We have had a lot of humidity and rain here in Mo.
Also if you wrap M&P very soon after cool will this never happen to the soap?
Thanks Deb

Hi Deb!
You can try wiping it off with a damp cloth and then putting them in front of a blasting fan to dry them completely. They might get streaks from rubbing, but it will be an improvement!

In my experience, bagging right away limits the amount of condensation that happens. Or you can seal them in ziplocs until you're ready to officially package them.

Thank you Debbie. I will do that and hope I can save them.
I have not had to much experience with M&P,are luck I guess. I also did a batch and colored it are tried to color it with manganese violet powered colorant and could,nt get it to color hardly at all.So after a day this faded back to white from a very very light violet. Weird,I am learning all sorts of things the hard way,lol.
I did have a good hp day today tho

Thank you !
Deb

Don't get discouraged! There are solutions to every problem - believe me, I've probably experienced most of them myself!

It's happened to me too =) I just pop the soap under a fan when I take it out during particularly rainy of humid days and this tends to take care of the glycerin dew problem.
