Hi, for you experienced soap makers. I am embedding those japanese erasers in clear m & p and am frustrated that I keep getting tiny air bubbles right in front of the hamster's face. I spray with alcohol, tap the mold and there are air bubbles that still don't come up to the surface for me to spray. Any tips, helpful hints would be really appreciated. Thanks so much.

Are you spraying both the soap and the eraser? I couldn't tell by your post.

Can you try putting the eraser in at an angle, or twisting it around a little once it is submerged into the soap? That way there are no pockets underneath for the air to get trapped in...

Also - another idea....if your soap has cooled too much it will be a little thicker, air bubbles can get caught in there much easier.... if the soap is still pretty warm then it will be thinner and the bubbles can float up to the top....
