The bent a hanger in order to do my swirls in my 4 pound mold. It's pretty thin and I think it's okay but my swirls never stray too far from the color so I don't get the wispy swirls I see everyone else get with their soap.
For the pink soap I made for Valentines Day, I added the colors in layers, then hanger swirled it trying to do a butterfly swirl (but I failed I know I'm sorry haha).
For my Dulce De Leche soap, I poured the brown base color first, then from up high, poured in some white colored soap, and then tried to swirl it. It didn't come out as wispy as I'd hope (it looks more like a feather than anything else).
I was wondering if it's my hanger that's the problem? It is a very thin hanger in my point of view, but I'm afraid to use the plastic ones as it might cause a reaction or something with the lye. Is my hanger the problem or is it the thickness of my batch?
Sorry if this is a silly question, I was just hoping for more of a swirl and I was surprised to find what it looked like after I cut it.
Please help and thank you.
