Going2Adopt Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ok so I've decided to play around with M&P (like I really needed something else to get addicted too). I've got some of the SFIC bases coming from KY, a nice plain jane rectangle bar mold, and will just play with some of the BS oils I have on hand already. Then it hit me I need some colorants. So thought I would pop over here to the nice new M&P forum and ask...What do you use to color your M&P soaps with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I use liquid coloring from WSP. I tried mica and ultramarine powders, but I could never get the darned speckles to go away, I mixed and mixed and mixed with my FO, but alas - speckles. The liquid coloring I use is the micas/ultramarines already diluted into a carrier oil, and all I have to do is shake the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I use the liquid colors from C&S, Michaels, and my own kitchen cabinet. Ground spices, oatmeal, etc. Make nice colorants. But I can't wait to try the POP colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 ditto, I just got in on the Pop color co-op. So many raves about it, well, maybe they'll be better than the ones I had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
