diamondk Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 When I swirl my log mold I will usually swirl in the pot first and then maybe alittle after it goes into the mold. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 You can swirl in a log mould, but you need the base soap to be poured just at light trace. Then pour in you colour from a height of about 12" and coming gradually down to 1" height. Then take a chop stick and make long strokes down the length of the mould then zig zag across the width. You can do this a couple of times. If the soap is past light trace, you are better off doing a pot swirl, as the colour will only go in a little way, and sit on the top.HTHTracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
