I have tried the double pour method and it keeps failing me!

It starts out good, then all of a sudden one color will overtake the other and it all runs together. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Maybe you need to pour cooler?

I usually pour after a skin forms on top which a break with a fork.

It looked good for a while, but then it went into layers! Looks nice, but not what I wanted. UGH!

IMO this is definitely heat doing this.

I test the surface/skin with my finger and make sure it's really firm. I also sometimes pour over the back of a spoon, like if you were cooking and pouring a custard in the kitchen. That way when the hot soap pours onto the thinner MP surface it isn't one strong pour, it's more dribbled over the surface, spreading the area you are pouring over.

If you have a thermometer, try it at 120 deg F.

I read this tip from some random Google search I did one day and I read that if you pour when a think skin has formed and then spritz alcohol when the colors meet it will sustain -

I tried it and it worked albeit one side took a bit more space from the other - maybe because I poured to quickly from one side.
