soaking is bad for ur bp when u do it too many times, or if u do it when the bp doesnt need it, THAT causes a future bad sheds. i couldnt remove the eye cap from my bp when i first had it, and i actually took it to the vet to do it lol. they said they soaked it twice in a row to get all of it off. they said it was fine. havent needed to soak ever since.
i would also suggest using a damp rag just because its a bit on the nose =p. if its not affecting ur bp negatively (off feed, stress cruising), x2 ur husbandry, work to get the temp and humidity regulated, and wait for next shed.
