How do you add topping like in the link below. wouldnt some be too heavy and sink to the bottom? How do you keep them up top? Can waves be made on top with melt and pour soap?

I would think that you would insert the pieces on top as the MP starts to solidify.

Yup, looks like chunks added when it was at the warm clumpy phase. Wonderful gradation of color from top to bottom, I must say.

Color gradation is lovely. Those very thin dark lines that run unevenly through the soap add interest. How do those happen? I've noticed them in soaps and they look nice.

Thanks!

ok I will have to break through the top skin then right? I always wondered if they just filled to about an inch from the top and then layered those on so to speak when layering on the last inch of soap at the top. i have never really paid much mind to see a warm clumpy phase. Thank you all for your help I will have to play with that

Oh that is a lovely effect!

Another nice one is finely grating soap to make a coconut effect or coloured soap shavings for coloured sprinkle/hundred thousand effect.

Good idea! Those would prob not sink so I would think you wouldnt need to let it skin over first.
