MarsBars Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi, I'm making some soap for my father's 57th class reunion as party favors. I decided to use M&P soap and insert some wording with water soluble paper. I made my test batch and the wording bled very slightly. I saw some posts that stated theirs turned to blurs after a certain time. I have a test batch that I completed three days ago. So far it hasn't bled any further. Does anyone know what cure time is considered "fine" so that I know my soaps won't bleed anymore? Is one week sufficient? Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Alajane Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Bumping this up because I'd like to know the answer to that, too. I made some last week with wording specific to a school where I'm doing a craft show May 4-5. I hoped that by making them 3 weeks in advance I would know by the time of the show whether they were OK or not.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsBars Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 UPDATE! I initially tried with an inkjet and they blurred terribly after about a week. Then this week I tried with a laser printer and so far they haven't even blurred one tiny bit! The first batch I did I was a little anxious and pulled them out of the molds after about 1 hr, the MP did blur slightly but not the paper. The next batch I did I waited overnight and they are crystal clear! I used M&P Crystal Clear from BB on top and Shea M&P on bottom. I'll post pics later today!

Heaven Scents Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Where did you get your paper, mine says to use an inkjet printer only. I'd much rather use my laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
