bfroberts Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 can I use TD? Or should I use white mica? Does it matter? I have both, but I figured white mica is probably mostly TD anyway. This will most likely be crockpot HP, if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleRush Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 TD titanium dioxide? There are also lots of natural powders you can choose. I’ve used turmeric, powdered calendula, powdered charcoal, rose hip powder, cocoa powder, espresso coffee, annatto seed powder, black tea powder. For some of these I will grind them in my coffee grinder if they are chunkier. The key to a pencil line is to not cover your soap completely but leave some of your soap show through or the layers will separate. Mica powders work great!🌸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I just got some zinc oxide and want to try that for a white pencil line. I'd probably use the mica in your case, rather than straight TD, but I'll let others weigh in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Use mica! Titanium dioxide gets schmeary when you cut the soap! And you don’t need a heavy layer. Heavy layers might look good until you use the soap and then it separates at the line because there wasn’t enough adhesion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks, all. I'll use the mica. I've done a lot of pencil lines. I just wasn't sure what was best to use for white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
