bells4shells Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've tried looking on the forums for anyone else who may have had this problem, but to no avail.I am using a m&p base and put in about 1/2 tsp for 24 oz of soap. Looked gorgeous! Only problem is that it floated to the top. I poured the soap at about 130F figuring it was cool enough to suspend the beads.Does anyone have experience with these beads and m&p soap? I use the SFIC stuff. I've read elsewhere something about layering, but I'd rather have it throughout the soap instead of in the middle.Any advice is appreciated!

sockmonkey Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 There is no good solution that I know of. To get them to incorporate better you'll need to let the soap cool quite a bit, so the m&p has thickened a bit and a skin has formed on top. Then you'll need to break through the skin and add your beads, stirring throughout. Let it set a little more, then break the skin again and stir it some more; you might need to repeat this step a few times. It can turn out somewhat lumpy top on the soap from repeatedy breaking that skin, but your beads should be better dispersed than before.

TexasBrat Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Some m&p is a suspension base so that additives don't float. WSP and other places sell it. Take a look at this one.http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/StoreCategory.aspx?CatalogID=1&GroupID=1&CategoryID=843&CategoryName=Suspension+Soap+Base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
