Good morning all.
I am impatiently waiting to cut my line pour from last night. I have never been successful at keeping my lines straight, but this one was going so great and every line was almost perfect...until I lowered the mold, slipped out of my hands, and messed up all my lines LOL. Anyway, I was only about 1/4 done and I think I managed to pour the rest ok.
On a side note, I have quite a few bottles of fo that do not have enough to fragrance one loaf all by themselves, so I experimented with mixing two. I mixed 1/2 Willow and Ivy from BB and 1/2 Champagne from NS, and let me tell you that it smells phenomenal!!! My batter decelerated so without wanting to put my sb back in and risk bubbles, it took quite some time stirring to get it to trace, which I don't mind. I will stir all day than to risk bubbles after I got a bubble-free batter lol.
My question is: how do I cut it to get the lines? It is a standard loaf mold. I watched videos and it almost seems like they rush through the cutting on purpose so that you have no idea what they did LOL. No I don't really think that, but after watching different soapmaker's videos, I still don't get it, so I thought maybe it might be easier for me to understand if someone just tells me LOL.
