swirling with M&P

[flavapor]

Can you do swirls with melt and pour? It seems like it starts to set up so fast. Is there a way to slow that down?

You can do swirls.

You can't get swirls like cp, but some people can get them pretty close.

You can always fake it too, by embedding swirls in your mp, like this

Well I tried it, and it came out ok. Its not a crisp swirl, more like fast moving clouds intergrating with each other. I am calling it hippie soap.

I did it with blue, purple, pink, orange, teal, and yellow. Its not what I exected or attempted it to be, but it is a damn nice looking soap. I cut them into cube shape.

Thanks

I can take some, but I dont know how to get them uploaded. I am techochallenged

If you post me idiot instructions I will try.

or... pm me your email and I will send them to you and you can post them or just look at them.

I just bought something called m&p swirl soap. It says to pour between 125 and 135 degrees, I am going to try that tomorrow and see if its better.

Swirling M& P is easy and I love love doing it!!
The trick is to let your batch slightly thicken and then pour your colored soap in .. Swirl it with a spoon, making sure you touch the bottom of your mold. Do this gently. It looks better with bold colorant than with pastels..


Wish I knew how to upload a picture with my iPhone , I have several that I have done.

I even have a 'whipped' top that makes them look like CP soaps...

When I get my white melt and pour I am going to swirl in some black for what I am hoping will be a cute black and white paint horse

thanks mimi, I am gonna try it. I had to get a photobucket account, or imageshack, I am not sure which one I used, anyway, then you load your photos on it, than you can download them to here easily.
