Teach Soap

Hi
I've read here not to mix bases from different companies. Does this mean just not to melt them together?
Will it work to use a base fom company A to make one layer & then use a base from company B to make the next layer?

Thanks,
einnoc

I think it's best not to mix soaps from different companies. The first time I heard not to mix the different vendor bases was during the layering video on soapqueen, so I would suggest not layering your soap like that

Thank you, tcmatteson,
Okay, I want to use up this clear aloe base from Company A, so to make 1 lb white, how much Titanium Dioxide do I add to make the clear base white?

I want to have different color layers, mixing clear & colors. I don't want a clear color; so do I add the Titanium Dioxide first & then add the color?

I want it to be just as if I were working with a colored white?

Am I making this confusing?

You can add TD to MP to make it white, but I would add color to clear first, then add the TD til you get the light color that you want. It's harder to do it the other way around.

So I add color to the clear than I add the TD? Right?
