What's your Secret?

[kimberlynn]

I love love textured tops on many of the soaps I see around. I've tried this with CP but it's just not working for me. Is this a HP method or am I just not doing it right? Anyone care to share their secret?
Thanks in advance

you get it to a really thick trace and swirl with the utensil of your liking (spoon, knife, fork, etc)

I wait till my batch sets up a litte and then I use a whisk.

Thanks for sharing. I have done just that but I think I must not be letting it get thick enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong here but are you coming to trace in the pot, pouring, letting it rest and then adding the texture? My current fav recipe fits nicely into a tupperware 12x8. Since it's plastic I worry about heat loss and tend to rush it to insulation. Is this "hurry up and get er' wrapped up" an unneccessary concern?

I don't let my soap gel :wink:
