I'm hoping I can collect some wisdom and experience from this group... after my first trial went goofy.
I had an idea for Christmas soap this year to pour red and green overlapping inclines (like the pencil drawing), but it didn't work out at all the way I hoped (picture).
My struggle was with the consistency of the batter. It seemed that if it's pourable, it won't hold its shape as an incline. And - if it's stiff enough to hold it's shape as an incline, it can't be poured.
In the bar pictured, I opted for pourable, and lost any concept of an incline.
Clearly I'm missing something. Is there a good way to build/pour such a bar?
Many Thanks,
Todd
