I can't seem to find any threads about layering cold process soap. Is there info in any books? I'm about to buy a couple books but of course can't see in them to see if there is specific techniques on layering..

So like in Melt and pour, do you wait until a layer forms before you pour your second layer. Or is cold process soap thick enough that you can pour immediately? Or, can I wait until the soap is hardened somewhat and then pour. ? Any insight is greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Rhonda

You can wait til the bottom layer is thick, then pour another layer over it, or add another layer the next day.

Thanks for your reply.. Really, I can wait until the next day. So there isn't a time window for pouring the second layer? Wow, that sounds great. So I could basically make the first layer of soap and then take my time making the second layer? And since I'm use to melt and pour at this point. Do I need to spray alcohol.?

I'm due to receive my books in a day or so and I'm not starting any CP making yet. This is all just mental preparation.
Thanks for your help!

Angelbella, the thickness of the CP when you pour will depend on how long you've stirred it, what recipe you are using, and what fragrance you've added.

I really really really encourage you to try basic, unscented, CP for your first try and save swirls and layers for later. Some of the technical answers will make a LOT more sense once you have a little experience.

Don't spray CP with alcohol.
