Teach Soap

Made a batch of CP yesterday and just cut it to discover it wasn't quite the look I was after:) I tried pouring the 2 colors together hoping to get green on one side and white on the other and then kind of merging in a little swirl.Then the top was just going to be left overs in a little swirl. It thickened a little quicker than expected but I still think its a cool earthy kind of look...especially for lemongrass scent:) The yellow part was suppose to be white...from my TD comment on another post!

I also superfatting 7% for the first time so I think it might take longer to cure, correct?

Those soaps look really nice! But I know what you mean when the outcome of a project doesn't match the vision in your mind - it can be disappointing.

It looks great. If you are working with darker oils it can be hard to get a good white with TD.

If you are wanting to do a side by side color, try using a piece of cardboard cut to the length of your mold, pour one color on each side (at the same time), and then pull it out, and you can use a skewer, knife or spoon to swirl the middle.

I've not ever heard that a higher superfat requires a longer cure. Can someone confirm if that is true or not?

Duhhhh, why didn't I think of that cardboard thing! here I was trying to eyeball pour it with batter that was thickening at different rates in the 2 containers:)

Smells awesome though and I think its still great soap!

Oh, I forgot to ask you what FO you used!!

And Soap Queen blog did a tutorial on that swirl technique very recently. It's called a mantra swirl. I think they used three colors, but you'll get the general idea!

Soaps at 7% superfat take as long to cure as soaps with a 5% superfat.
