Uneven surface

[Johnray]

can anyone please tell me what I am not doing right which causes these surfaces?

Moving the mold at all after pouring can cause the wrinkly surface as the top has already cooled enough to harden. Pour and then don’t disturb even a little for a couple hours and that should help.

I think the disturbance is one of the points. But I also get this when I spray isopropyl alcohol on the top. Is that normal?

Is this photo taken once the soaps are hardened, or just a few minutes after pouring and spraying? They look like all my M&P soaps do just after pour, when they're starting to cool, but mine firm up and even out as they cool.

Are you using a manufactured base or making your own. The avocado base that I make will always wrinkle even when I am carefully melting it down. On the other hand, overheating some bases can cause wrinkling. While I am not an expert with m&p my daughter was.
