I am assuming that you will have to use cp safe mica.

I've used it and nothing's changed so far! It's been a few months.
I haven't tried mica for a pencil line yet but I would assume the same morphing since it's sandwiched in between soap. I've heard that you can drizzle it on top and do a light swirl without morphing. I was going to try that with the few mica samples I bought.
Thanks everyone. In the past I have used so called CP stable/safe mica (Green apple) that went brown during gel and then finished up being purple :eh: I don't have much faith when it's advertised as CP safe/stable.
In any case I wanted a purple pencil line and I ending up using Magic Violet Mica and I am happy to say it worked just fine, no morphing at all, hopefully it will be safe/stable if used to colour the soap as well.

I have used micas for pencil lines but only gold and black, without morphing. I have used several different micas to do swirls on top of the soap loaf (even non-stable CP ones) and they came out ok (so far).
