jade Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 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?

lindanelson Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scntdwik Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yes, either try pouring when its a little thicker or I use suspension base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Stirring until it cooled & thickend worked just fine. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 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.

Cindy/WI Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 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.
