ladysj Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 My Secret Buddy from another board sent me some glitter sample packs, 2 soap cutters and some blackberry fo.:whoohoo: So I want to try and play some this weekend with my soap. I would like to try them in some soap. How much should I add? Do I take some soap out and add it to that or just add it to the whole batch? I also have some silver mica not sure how to add that either for the silver to show through. TIA for any help/suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAPFREAK Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Ladysj, If you add the glitter to the whole batch it will get lost in the soap. For glitter to show up you would have to pull out a small amount of soap maybe 8 oz. or so and I would add about a TBsp. or more of glitter.Then do pour on top of base layer in a slab mold and swirl.Don't forget the glitter will probably make your soap scratchy.For mica you can use the 8 oz. and add maybe a tsp. or 2 and do a ITPS or in a slab.

SOAPFREAK Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I would try a small batch to see how it turns out. Sometimes the glitter just doesn't want to show up. Maybe start with a smaller amount pulled out of the batch like 4 oz. instead. Glitter isn't as forgiving as mica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
