Seriously fantablulous-looking swirlies. I can't wait to see the cuts. What made the rich red? Just color or additive?

I fully agree! And have the same question about the red
Can't wait to see the cut pics!

Good morning, kids.
The "red" is actually fuschia labcolors (again....I did the same color on the Love Spell soap) at it's HIGHEST recommended strength, and peach LabColor. You can see from the pic below it's more fuschia than red, after gelling. I'm a little freaked out this morning though, because I also did my freakishly high SF experiment (18%) on this batch and I had a layer of oil on top of the soap when I unwrapped it and took the lid off. EEEK!!! (Note to self: It was too high, knucklehead. lol). I tilted the mold and poured the excess off. It was maybe 1/2 a teaspoon, total - and it looks like I got condensation too. I had the wood lid on and two towels. (Too hot? Ive never used lids before, only saran wrap. ). Now the texture is sorta funky on top...Grrr. Now what?! It looks like were never getting sunshine again here, so here's another dark pic...lol.
Thanks for any advice.

I am seriously considering getting some labcolors, but have one more question. Do you get bleeding from the colors or just a nice white lather? I made some purple-as-hell soap with oxides and it turns the sink purple.

I have never once gotten colored lather from them. They're a bit pricey but I like them a lot.

That is really pretty soap! Your DH makes great moulds, maybe he should go into business.
I think the two towels and the lid was too much insulation, the texture that you got on top is from overheating. Probably just the lid would be enough.
Did you cut the tops off?

:shock: Amazingly beautiful, I love those!

ChrissyB: I'm gonna try it with just the lid next time. And yeah..I cut it off. Thanks.

Soapforbreakfast: I just used a big drywall knife and got lucky for once...lol.
