Bubbles in M&P soap

[Laura]

i've been looking around the forum but cant find anything that helps me.

I mainly make melt and pour soaps. Sometimes when i pour the soap into the moulds i get tiny bubbles on the top that dont go away. Normally i try and very carefully spoon them out, but i was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of them or why they happen?

thanks

The bubbles probably mean you are pouring too hot. Put somerubbing alcohol in a mister bottle & lightly mist the soap just afer you pour it. That will pop your bubbles & give you a smooth finish. Don't worry, the alcohol evaporates.

ahh ok, thank you. i'll give that a try

Bubbles can also occur from stirring too much so be sure not to do that! Otherwise spraying lightly with rubbing alcohol will do the trick!

I just started doing that with my soaps, I am amazed at how wonderful they look without bubbles
