Hi there! I just used a spoon and the handle of it. After I pour, I wait until the soap thickens up and then I start playing with it until I like the way it looks. It sometimes takes awhile for the soap to become the right texture, where it'll stay put and stand up in peaks. It needs to be pretty thick
Thank you so much for the tip cause I had been trying for the last five batches and it just wasn't working out. Lol I think it wasn't letting it get thick enough.
