Hi everyone,

I attempted my first spin swirl yesterday. My soap batter stayed nice and fluid and I'm wondering if maybe too fluid as my colours seem to have blended together too much. I don't have a pic yet to post as I'm at work.
Does anyone have any tips to get nice bright and pretty patterns for this. I'm pretty disappointed. I also didn't fill my mold very high and maybe that's why as I don't have the height to cut it in half or horizontally to see the inside. Also - does it need to be at medium trace maybe?
Any tips are so appreciated and thank you!

Tracy
