Hi and thanks for all the welcomes!!

I don't put my soaps in the freezer....to be honest it isn't big enough..lol.. I let them sit on my counter in my soap/candle room to harden on their own. They are always fine until they have been out of the mold for a couple hours, then here come the dew!!! I don't live in an area that has a lot of humidity, so that is why I thought maybe I was over heating the base?? This happens even when I use a low sweat soap base also. It is driving me nuts...lol..

Thanks again everyone!!![/color]

Hm, I don't know what could be causing the dew then, unless you have air conditioning in your home?

I have a window unit type air conditioner, but we hardly ever run it. Plus, if it is hot enough for air conditioning, then I don't make soap at all. I will see how I make out with the CP type melt and pour that I get this week. Thanks so much for your help!!! I really appreciate it!! Maybe I will have better luck this week, it is only going to be in the low 70's, and low humidity, so maybe...keep your fingers crossed..lol..

The only way I have found to keep my MP soaps from 'sweating' is to wrap them in saran wrap. If you go over them with a blow dryer quickly after they are wrapped, the heat will shrink up the saran wrap and look nice and tight.

(Melt and Pour soaps suck all the moisture out from the air around them that they can. You need to cut off their contact with the air to get them to stop 'sweating'.)
