diamondk Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 colors. Do you pull out soap into 2 different measuring cups and color them? After you pour your soap into the slab do you pour one color at a time? Any information and help would be appreciated. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yup, that's about it. For my size batches I find the 3 oz dixie cups that I used to make votives with are a perfect size, but I've used larger pyrex cups and other things.For 2 colors, in each cup I mix about a 1/4 teaspoon of color (depending) in with a little of my soft oils to mush it up. Then add lightly traced soap to that - for a slab that's about 14 x 10 (16 bars) I use a full 3 oz cup for each color - it's not very much at all. Maybe 1/4 cup measure? I pour one color at a time - since it was lightly traced, I find the colored soap doesn't get globby. The trick of course is timing - the perfect trace consistency.

Sara Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Pretty much the same thing here. I use Dixies to mix up my colors and then use a different container to mix in with the soap. And I pour at two different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
