Mango Tango Twist

[Nightlilly]

I think the scent is either Mango Twist or Mango Tango Twist...can't remember. Anyway, I used the neon sample packet from BB I think with some titanium dioxide and a hanger swirl.

Very nice hangar swirl! Was it a thinner or thicker trace for such fine lines?

Gorgeous soap.

Fine lines are usually done at thinner trace if trace at all. I stir my batter just until emulsified and staying together for the finer swirls.

The trace was thin to medium, kinda sloppy pudding? I wanted thicker lines so I slipped a regular drinking straw over my hanger but it didn't work as I'd hoped. Next time I'm going to try to Macgyver a thicker one using a piece of those thick plastic hangers or a dowel.

I've been letting soap build up on my hanger, each time I just tap it to release the excess, but don't wipe the soap off, and now have a nice thick coating which gives me better definition without having to Jerry build anything. It's probably the thickness of a straw now. But I do think that's why I don't get those nice fine lines. Hmm, perhaps I need another hanger for thin lines. I pour at thin trace too, so it must be the hangar?
Thanks!

I think the thickness and length of lines has to do with a combination of things like the thickness of the hanger and batter and how fast or slow you move the hanger.
