Honestly, I'm not trying to be nitpicky. But the way you are saying this, everyone will think you are talking about the liquid glycerin. What you intend to drizzle on your soap may contain glycerin, and it may be a "glycerin M&P base." But is not "M&P glycerin" nor "base glycerin."
Oh, that's awesome, whew! They looked like metal wire racks in the picture, so my apologies.
Perfect! I do the same with some of my soaps.
I have heard lately that you should not use freezer paper, or parchment paper as metal ions can migrate through these materials. The best thing to use is a light thin cloth or a thin plastic (such as needle point plastic). I took this sentence directly from an article about DOS and how to prevent them: Never cure or store soap directly touching any type of metal. If you must use metal shelving or screens, cover it with cloth or plastic to separate the soap from the metal. A layer of waxed or parchment paper is not enough -- metal ions can migrate through thin, permeable materials like these.Honestly, I'm not trying to be nitpicky.

To make sure people understand what you mean, it would be better to refer to your drizzle as M&P, or a M&P base.
The other important thing is not to put your soap directly on metal racks, even if they are painted or coated or claim to be stainless. The wires can get cracks or flakes that expose the soap to other metals, and that can cause DOS, which is a form of rancidity. It would be such a shame if your pretty soap went bad! You can put down freezer paper, parchment paper, or shelf liner to separate the soap from the rack.
Anyway, the honey drizzle sounds like it will look really pretty - be sure to post some pictures.
I think a light cloth, first of all isn't see through, no light permeates it, so perhaps that is the answer? It may be the metal ions travel with light. Have to research this more.
Wow wow wow!
Mad Micas golden buddha is a great color - you can add it to your melt and pour, or premix it in a little glycerin (a teaspoon) or rubbing alcohol and then add it to the melt and pour. Should give you a nice honey color to drip onto your soap.
Thank you for jumping in here (to save me) as I couldn't remember where I had heard not to use freezer paper. I am so careful with what I use - because of my high humidity, here in Florida. I personally bought some bar cloths from Walmart and they are easy to use - wash and reuse as necessary. And cheap as well!
