Layered m&p came apart

[darkbanshee87]

Guys so I've just made my first batch of melt and pour (finally) but some of the layers came apart I only have three bars to use is it just a case of I didn't use enough rubbing alcohol? The pic is the good ones

I had that on my first loaf of M&P, it was about 8 layers and I forgot to spray between one set. I think that's the most common cause?

The only thing I can think of is that you might have waited too long between pouring each layer. I wait just until a skin forms on the top before I pour the next layer. I also spray the top of each layer with alcohol.

Those layers need to be pretty firm so that the colors don't bleed. Rubbing alcohol is the glue that makes the layers stick. However, if the layers were solid enough, you could spray rubbing alcohol AND scratch the layer with a knife to help the new layer stick .

I usually let my layers get firm as well. Then I scrape the layer with a fork, spray with rubbing alcohol and then pour my next layer.
