thesoapbox Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, I am not extremely great at it but sometimes they don't look so bad . My question is, most of my swirls pretty much stay towards the top of the soaps and I have seen some gorgeous soaps that the swirls are completely through. How do you get swirls all the way through the soap?There is one that I found on a website (I think it was a Canadian one) and her swirls were breathtaking.

Rachael Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The higher you hold the container of colored soap from the main batch as you pour the further down into the batter it goes , and the closer you hold it the more it stays on top Hope the made sense ! :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Those are the exact swirls I was referring to! Thanks Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 My main problem when I first started out was waiting too long. Thin to mediium trace works better for those wispy swirls.Also, using a Kelsei divider mold helps with 'dragging' those swirls down the sides of the bars.
