I had to stir for awhile because I wanted the oatmeal to suspend in the soap. why the bubbles and how can I correct this. please advise and thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 you need to spray the soap with alcohol when it is still liquid after pouring into molds.Right, now to correct the soap you have trying taking a knife and gently rubbing over the bubble to smooth out (the flat side of the knife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htaylorrn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Did you spray with alcohol while it was still wet or now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFrog Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Have you tried buffing it with a wash cloth? I usually use that or a paper towel for any imperfection before I saran wrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleonard Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes soap was still wet.................Thanks for all the good advise, I'm making more this weekend........I'm having difficulty getting the oatmeal to suspend, It's mostly on top?? any suggestions?? I tried to stir for a while, but still ends up at top, or should I say at the bottom of the mold.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Have you tried the Gerber oatmeal? I use the single grain baby oatmeal in mine and don't have any problems with it staying suspended in the soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbing the bubbles with a damp cloth is a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
