Hi,
I have this weird idea.
Remember the old fashion mustard & ketchup plastic bottles? I bought 2 of them. I want to fill each container with a different color melted MP. Then pour a solid color MP into my mold (ie white). Then take each squirt bottle and put the pointed tip down into the soap in the mold squeeze making a swirling effect deep into the white MP. The first squirt bottle could be full of pink and then take the 2nd color (purple) insert the tip into the MP in the mold squeeze and swirl.

Does this make any sense? The temperatures would have to be pretty warm - still liquid.

What do you think? Would this work?

I think it is worth a try. Perhaps the colors in the bottles could be around 120* if they or the white are too hot then they will blend into each other.

I was actually kind of thinking of trying this idea with the injector that BB sells, though it would be on a much smaller scale than the squirt bottles you're talking about. I don't know how much of a "swirl" you will get, but it's always worth a try ^_^

Please post pictures of your results if you try this. Inquiring minds want to know! :D

It does work. I use the bottles like that for different projects in mp. If you want to keep them warm, just leave them sitting in a bowl of warm water.

I've seen quite a few tutorials using them, I wish I would have bookmarked the links :(

Good luck and please let us know how it goes.

Hi,
I'm going to give this a try today! My concern is the white base in the mold needs to be a little cooler then the colors I am squirting through it, so I don't need any alcohol because there would be no way to spritz the alcohol on the new colors.

I'm going to just try one color in white!

I will post pictures. Hopefully it won't be a mess!

Well, I gave my idea a twirl!
It really didn't work, but I'm not very patient and maybe I didn't wait long enough and squirted the colored layer when the base was still too hot.
But I think the results are not unattractive. I kind of like them now and I will certainly do this again! I liked having the hot soap in the ketchup container with the squirter that I could pierce through the top soap layer and squirt the color underneath.
Here is a pic.

I love it! I think you did a great job.

I don't think I've ever had soap turn out exactly how I imagined it to. It would be nice, though.

Thank you Wintermoon.
I'm going to continue to practice doing this and see what I come up with!

I know that wasn't what you were after, but it looks good to me!

They look really great! Did you pour all of the white first or did you do them in layers?

Thanks, everyone!
I poured a layer of white. I let it sit & then I squirted the raspberry colored MP from the ketchup holder, with the tip inserted down into the white and swirled it around; waited then poured another layer of white and repeated. I kept spritzing with alcohol. I think I should have let the layers harden more, but I was impatient! I kept the raspberry MP pretty warm sitting in the hot water of my double boiler. I prefer using a double boller than a microwave.

I'm going to try again!
