CBE Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Oh man.... My first batch that really seized on me. When I added the black dye, it started with the consistency of applesauce. ACK! Added the FO, mixed with SB for a few seconds, it smoothed out. As soon as I'm pouring.. it starts making these lumps in the mold. I had no time to swirl :embarasse I TRIED to swirl... but I think I just made things look alot worse. It's hard to see the clumps and lumps in the pic. My swirl portion was ALOT thinner than the pour portion. It may end up looking like a layer...lol... but I really have no idea what this will look like cut. I'm thinking something like CRAP. But hey... it could have been worse!! LOL Trial and Error Babe. Scented in Chrome (type) from Solas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Some mistakes turn out to be beautiful. This kinda looks like a rebatch or hp. I guess we won't know until it's cut. I've had some soap that was beautiful in the mold and imo didn't look so hot out of the mold...you never know:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBE Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Black dye?Was it soap safe?IrenaYes, I used an oil soluble dye. First time using black though... the other colors behaved nicely... the black... no. LOL I really do think it was the coloring... I don't think it was the FO.
