Shrink wrap soap bands

[robtr31]

doing a little research , has anyone used these type or simliar shrink-bands
to hold scent in or is it better to totaly shrink wrap them ?

christmas preasents so be atime sitting around , have them in a dry cool place curing on a butcher paper for about 6-7 weeks so far.

Depends on type of Soap

If you're making M&P soap, you'd want to completely shrink wrap it because it'll sweat and feel gross.

If you're making cold process, you can use either, but you have to wait until the soap is completely cured ( a couple months) to fully shrink wrap the soap because it needs to breathe to be able to cure and CP soap slowly shrinks for a couple months so it'll look bad (the shrink wrap will be baggy and foggy very shortly if soap isn't cured). There is a little more wiggle room with shrink bands, because the soap can still breath and you don't notice nearly as much if the band is a little baggy. I vote shrink band for CP soap .
