    How do you think this slab swirl was made?

    The maker is T&B Bathhouse out of Thailand. They don’t seem to have any blogs or challenge videos :(

    Im just used to being the only one that thinks I’m funny :oops::D

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    Thank you @DeeAnna. Wouldn’t want to give anyone the wrong idea. My 2 year old has his own safety mantra he says every time he comes into the soaping room: “Mom! We don’t put the soap in our mouthes. We don’t eat soap.” Sometimes he also says that at restaurants and we have to convince him it’s...

    I have returned from YouTube! This one turned out beautiful!

    Permanent Mold Liner

    Have you looked into making an acrylic or HDPP mold instead? The soap doesn’t stick to the sides so it doesn’t really need a liner.

    How do you think this slab swirl was made?

    I’ve had these slabs dancing through my head at night like so many sugar plums... I was thinking maybe a funnel pour but...?

    What fragrance makes you think of the ‘90’s?

    Oh my gosh! I’m going to get it. I don’t know what I’m doing to do with it though! :D

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    This was my exact worry while watching this. Hence the joke of having to lick the whole bar :p

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    Interesting! I’ll give it a try this week and report back. I do a lot of line work, so I’m really interested to see if it will be a useful technique for me or just a new tidbit of info to store away :D

    What fragrance makes you think of the ‘90’s?

    I remember my sister being obsessed with the smelly markers! I’m doing a video game console theme for a local game shop, so a bit of a different take than everyone (including me!) so far. Although the Hi-C might be appropriate :D

    OMG I forgot about the vanilla. Vanilla EVERYWHERE.

    Yes! Everyone should go back as far as they would like!

    What fragrance makes you think of the ‘90’s?

    I’m working on soap with some nostalgic embeds and I thought this was a fun thought experiment :rolleyes: What fragrance makes you think of the 80’s? The 90’s? The 2000’s? 80’s - I think video games just hitting their stride, summertime, awkward stripes everywhere, and the overly fruity sweet...

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    I’ve seen a couple other soapers do the whisking by hand method in the last few weeks - I’d never seen it before that. I’ll have to give it a shot and see what happens - but it seems far easier to just do a very careful stick blending.

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    I don’t see how they’re getting the batter to emulsion. They’re literally whisking it by hand (li for like 10-30 seconds tops. I guess by watching this video it looks like it’s holding together okay, but it’s so hard to tell. Anyway, this is a great example of what I’m seeing:

    Pouring batter before emulsion.

    Ive been seeing a lot of YouTube videos lately where batter is being whisked for a short amount of time and then sectioned off, colored, and then finally stick blended right before it’s poured (mostly I see it for straight lines in layers). This seems cool, but makes me uneasy - can you be sure...

    Why is it brittle?

    cmzaha is right on the money here, you have over an extra ounce of lye in that soap. Lye heavy soap, besides dangerous, is very hard and brittle. You should rebatch this with extra oils. How did you come by your recipe?

    Ideas for hawaiian themed soap

    I agree with cmzqha, I would use a good quality clear melt and pour with the molds (you could really get that translucent green shimmer with a good mica) and then cold process a soap bar if you want to use them as inbeds. You could also use a circle mold and use silicone caulk to make the main...

    Ideas for hawaiian themed soap

    I would make the Heart of Te Fiti out of soap. There are several molds on Etsy it looks like!
