Tried a kaleidoscope soap in a loaf mold

[glendam]

I think I should have used more contrasting colors, but overall I am happy with the results. Used mostly micas mixed with neons, though the pink is a straight neon from Makeyourown. Made the pull screen with a 3D printer, with three different flower styles to see which worked best.
Used mango sorbet FO as it usually behaves well, but I over blended and the soap thickened up quite a bit towards the end.

Beautiful! I’d love to see the screen you made!

Hi @Vicki C,
Thank you!!
I would post a picture of it, but there is a pending issue with my watermark for now.

I love those colors together! I will watch the video later to see how you attached the rods to the screen.

I can tell you now, not sure if it can be seen well in the video. I used stainless steel hex nuts to hold them in place

I was wondering more about where you attached them: to the top of the screen, or on each side?

@AliOop Oh! on each side. I did have to trim the rods to be just slightly higher than the mold size, because they are otherwise on the way, when pouring. I tried with strings before and they did not work as well, I could not lift them evenly because of the weight of the soap batter (both times too thick!)

Excellent video! Well done. Quick and to the point. Easy to follow and well informed.
Amazing gadget -- sooo cool.
