How do you control your gelling? It's my understanding temperature causes gelling. Do you refrigerate?[/QUOTE

Yes, I refrigerate, to stop my soap gelling, I put it in the frig overnight or about 8 hrs or so, take it out and let sit to harden and decide when it needs cutting. I don't like the translucent look, I prefer them to look creamy.

I like creamy too. How do you make creamy? No gelling?

Very nice cuts as well. I haven't seen too many swirls I like, the multi colors are usually too much for me personally. I like the blue/purple and yellow together, they compliment nicely and the swirl came out excellent.

Yes, creamy is no gelling. Have a look at my Lemon Meringue one. This is not a swirl, it's a skewer pulled through the soap.
 
Okay. Either way, it's pretty. Do you put your soaps in the same fridge where your food is? Is that even safe, does lye dissipate?
