slow-burn Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Can't seem to get these darn swirls Tried to swirl, tops look ok, but couldn't get it to go all the way thru Even tried with a slab type moldLeft to right Clean cotton, love spell, and omh on the bottomSame soaps different view, omh, key lime, clean cottonAnd the omh, oh my! This is what it looked like in the mold, major sweet taters, lol! Glad it didn't stay that orange I put plastic on it, but took it off real quick. Put 1 Tbsp (I know now too much) honey in it, it is oozing slightly, but not like I thought. I ended up putting it in the fridge and left it there all night. It wasn't too bad to cut, however, when I got to the bottom, the last 1/4 inch or so in the log mold crumbled when I cut it on each and every piece. Thanx for looking!

wonderfullywicked Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 They're looking good. I'd show ya mine, but you'd (looking for the barfing smiley). Swirled one with black/silver...yep, we won't go there. Needless to say, the rebatch is a little.....can we say....shaded the Tin Man from WOZ? How many times can you rebatch the same soap?

You sound like me now! Not sure on the rebatch since I haven't done it yet. I was gonna rebatch those 2 that I contaminated, but I was told it was better to pitch them, LOL!
