@akseattle correct! I was in the midst of changing my wording to clarify this when you posted your first response.
Did your soap ever harden? How did it turn out?Oh my~ Just made a batch of soap with the hanger swirl method. I was hoping to use it for this challenge. I have absolutely no idea if it is going to work. Granted it was a recipe that is slow tracing, however, it may not get hard at all. Who knows? It's in the oven now and I am going to pray, light candles, or eventually laugh and say, oh well. Happy Sunday!
Yes it did finally harden. It turned out ok. Not great but ok. Still debating on using it for this months challenge.Did your soap ever harden? How did it turn out?
Hope you and your family are feeling better soon and that your soap turns out great!Well it's 3:15 am in the morning and I just finished my soap for the challenge and put it in the oven. I had to drink coffee and make soap all night because everyone in my house caught a very bad flu and I started to feel it coming on around 9:00 pm so I figured I better make soap quick before I become to sick to do it. I might of over swirled it I went over it twice I hope it turns out nice! We will see in 18 hours .
@Tammyfarms Thanks so much I've been drinking lots of lemons and limes with honey ginger and cinnamon that always seems to help I'm excited to cut my soap in one hour. I'll let everyone know in a couple hours how it turned out.Hope you and your family are feeling better soon and that your soap turns out great!
I cut it.
I like it.
Complete miss on what I envisioned though.
I asked some of the vendors at the farmers market today if they preferred the plain single soap or the multicolored one. Single color didn't get a single yay.
I'm fighting the urge to make another batch this month. Good news is I think I'll be making more soaps this way in the (near) future
Edit: someone purchased what I had at the farmers market as a college graduation gift (school colors represented well) even after I Said come back in 8 weeks (they're gonna let it cure for 8 weeks and bring it back if anything goes away)
Same here. My soap only had holes in the end pieces from being to stiff to pour. The swirl turned out almost exactly like I hoped it would! I want to try again to get more vibrant colors.I cut it.

Looking forward to hearing how your soap turned out, and hoping that you're feeling better soon!@Tammyfarms Thanks so much I've been drinking lots of lemons and limes with honey ginger and cinnamon that always seems to help I'm excited to cut my soap in one hour.

Thanks for this!Same here. My soap only had holes in the end pieces from being to stiff to pour. The swirl turned out almost exactly like I hoped it would! I want to try again to get more vibrant colors.
Also, I made a pair of hanger tools with a coat hanger and silicone straws. The one I originally used was wrapped in plastic wrap and packaging tape. The new ones are much nicer. I made one for my 10-inch rectangular mold and a small one for the 4-inch square mold, and only used one hanger.
I bet they are going to be great! Glad you were feeling well enough to cut them. Hopefully the rest of your house is on the mend, too!So I just finished cutting my soap and I will admit my soap bars look beautiful I really like them, but the big buttttt, they didn't turn out the way I planned. I'm going to still enter them in the challenge though. Either I over swirled or I swirled them with a trace that was to thin or I didn't add enough blue. They look a little muddy like the colors mixed to gether a bit in some places and some places my pink and blue mixed to gether and made a purple color so it looks like I swirled purple in there to but I didn't. They still look nice though but not what I wanted I could of sworn my trace was at medium trace but oh well. I still think everyone will like them.
Thanks @AliOop maybe you could use chalk or a white paint pen. It might be cheaper then buying new gear ties. It's a funny thing even though I'm sick still all I can think about is soap making ha ha. I guess I will get lots of soap videos in while I'm in bed lol.Wow, fantastic tips there @CLMP! My gear ties are black so I may have to run out and get a lighter one so I can mark it.
@CLMP , I don't think soap ever turns out the way we planned! I'm still looking at Utubes, but, I'm going to try to make my soap this weekend. I'm telling myself over and over not to get too attached to what I THINK it should look like! But, I can't wait to see your soap!but the big buttttt, they didn't turn out the way I planned.
