WSP oatmeal M&P ?

[jade]

I just used some of this & the little bits of oatmeal are all in one place on the finished soap. I stirred it very well before I poured it in the mold. Is there anything I can do to prevent this or will the oatmeal always fall to the bottom of the mold?

I haven't used a m & p oatmeal base, but with a regular base when adding oatmeal, I keep stirring until it starts to get thick, then pour. That way the oatmeal stays suspended in the bar of soap.

Yes, either try pouring when its a little thicker or I use suspension base.

Stirring until it cooled & thickend worked just fine. Thank you!

I have WSP's oatmeal base, too. I love it, but was frustrated with the problem of the oatmeal sinking to the bottom, too. Instead of fussing with it, though, I decided to work with it by buying some soap molds in the shape of feet. The oatmeal sinks to the bottom, but it looks really cool on the foot mold- like a dirty foot. I call it my 'Dirty Feet' soap.

I don't use that base but I make my own and I pour when it looks like pan cake batter but pour fast b/c it will thicken up fast once it get the the pan cake batter stage. HTH Cindy/WI
