Xraytech70 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I made this with a blend of Energy and Yuzu from BB. I did an in-the-pot swirl of 4 colors. YIKES! I did this at such a light trace that I'm praying that the whole mess doesn't separate because it's so pretty right now. IF it turns out, I'll post cut pics in a couple of days.

Xraytech70 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 I got ASH!!! And it's still kinda soft, so we'll have to see in a couple of weeks if it's worth saving or not... It was a good swirling experience tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It's a beautiful swirl! What were the colors you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 ash won't hurt your soap...so don't throw it out because of that...alot of us get ash...and when we do...we embrace it....let it sit..even it is soft now...give it a week or two..and you will be surprised..so it could still turn out to be a wonderful soap...

Xraytech70 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks for all the nice comments! I used the POP micas, red lake 40 and copper penny mica. The POP micas were tangerine and black. The colors did fade a bit, and it's still soft and lye heavy. I'm afraid that it didn't gel and I don't know if I'll need to rebatch the whole mess or not. I'll leave it for a few weeks and then see about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 it does not matter if it gelled or not..that is just a preferance that some people have...it will not hurt your soap if it didn't gell...but you do want to make sure it is not lye heavy...did you run you recipe thru a soap calc?if it is still lye heavy after a week..i would say somewhere along the way..the measurements got off...my soap normally within 2 days, i can do a zap test and it is fine..and the softness won't hurt either...idepending on your recipe..will determine how hard your soap will get..

Xraytech70 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Whew...it's fine now. I did the zap test and no zap last night. It actually turned into soap now! The chemical reaction of soapmaking and how fast things can change from day to day still amaze me! Once it firms up a bit more, I'll trim up a piece or two to show the inside swirls.
