CareBear Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 If you can find a way to make true red in CP soap please share - I've not even come close!But according to the page (http://www.selectshades.com/chart/cpsoap.html), 3 violet red + 1 muted red used at 1/2 tsp per pound of batter should do it, maybe 1 tsp per pound. If it works let me know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzeyez Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't know what's up with that it came up for me. I'm still checking. There is a muted red, a tomatoe red so far, the tomatoe red is the closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thank you. I was trying to pull up the tradewinds page and go from there. The selectshades link worked, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 You can download the chart to your PC. Did you get a good red?e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I used 1/4 teaspoon of ripe tomato in 1 cup of soap for the swirl and got a nice pink. That's OK. It was Love Spell and it's just fine Pink.Thanks for the clip idea, e. This is in my new 24 bar mold with slots like a misty creek. Only the slots are narrower so there is no play with the blade and I get straight cuts every time.The pink swirl is TNC Love Spell and the blue green is OT Bonsai. I used a skewer to swirl the one on the bottom and I'm not very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 darn, I was hoping to see tomato red!!! really lovely swirlies!!I have tried a skewer but it's too narrow - I find the handle of my stirring spoon is perfect so I had to go get another. It's round like a dowel.Love how you used clips for the paper - tape is so iffy when it comes to sticking to freezer paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use SS all the time and have never been able to get a true red - it always turns pinker than what I want. I hope you have better luck than I do. How do you like the Bonsai? I love it. It is a very strong FO and can be used at a reduced rate. That scent sticks like glue too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I loved the bar of Bonsai that you sent to me, Meridith. I had to soap it. I used a full ounce per pound. It's smells yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
