    Browsing soap pics

    I would do it like this : Heavily texture the top of the poured soap (thick trace), then cover it with gold mica premixed with some sweet almond oil (or some other light oil) carefully with a pipette. The oil would absord leaving the top covered in gold mica. :)

    Made my 1st soap!!!

    A few soap batches ago I started brushing some liquid paraffin on the sides and corners of my silicone mold with a silicon brush before pouring. I have never looked back since. Combined with a little sodium lactate, the soap practicaly falls out of the mold, usually 12-24 hours after pouring no...

    Yuzu/Kumquat Salt Bars

    Very nice looking, congrats! Never made a salt bar but I am itching to try it... How and when do you use the salt? Is it 50% of the total oil weight?

    My new CP soap pics.

    Hi everyone. Just cut it yesterday. I was going for a roughly "sunset" concept, and i think i like the result. The scent is a blend of BB Energy and Champagne (3/1) and smells really nice, I just hope it survives a full cure. Feedback more than welcome. :)

    The lye concentration experiment

    Excellent work πατριώτη , greatly appreciated. I have settled to 2 "settings" for my soapy projects : a full water when many colors / swirling/ pouring time is needed and a 40% for simpler soaps, all other factors being equal. Thanx again, greetings from Nafplio !

    My new all-natural CP soap project

    First Mica line = epic fail

    Ouch, sorry about that....bummer. You probably made the line way thicker than you should. I read somewhere that a good tip is when you apply the mica, you should be able to see plenty of the soap under the layer. Apart from the line failure the soap looks great. Hope you can save it somehow.
