rcrafty Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I created some tedius soaps and they new have glycerin dew on them. I had put a portion of the soap in the fridge to speed it up and I am sure that is what caused it. I have wiped off the dew and re-wrapped them but will the dew just keep on coming back after a few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcrafty Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Thanks Brianh.I wiped off the dew and re-wrapped them and so far the dew has not returned. I definitely will not be putting my m&p in the fridge anymore to make the cooling process faster. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracey11474 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) I made some ice cube sized pumpkins and skulls last night and wasn't able to get them wrapped. Of course today it is pouring rain and so humid now they are sweating. What can I use to wipe them off with damaging/scratching them? I do have little cello bags to put them in them, I plan to put 4 of them in it. Here they are pre-dew!

xxxtennillexxx Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sorry, I can't help but I wanted to say they look AWESOME! I usually just wipe my soap w/a napkin if it starts to sweat b4 I can wrap it but it will scratch the surface a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrafty Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have tried to narrow down why only 1 part of my soap had the dew problem, the only thing I could come up with was that part was colored with mica and the rest with liquid colorants. I re-did a few and didn't use the mica and just used a liquid color and the dew has not returned so far but only time will tell.I opened the soaps that had dew on them back up and wiped them with a paper towel and then re-wrapped them again. The dew is not as bad but still a little has come back. So frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracey11474 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 If they do sweat...can I remelt and pour them and then wrap them as soon as I unmold them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pops1 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I keep all my silica gel sachets that come in pills etc and for small soaps or embeds that start to sweat l pop them in a bag with some of the packets of silica and usually overnight the sweating goes.

Alajane Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 pops1, excellent tip!! Can't imagine how many of those I've thrown away over the years, and then last year when I had a big order that I made up in advance, I bought silica for preserving flowers and put little bags of it in the boxes before storing that soap and it worked well.
