And it turned out pretty well!
I received a mica sample in my WSP order, and I had to do something with it. So I set off to do some light pink swirls in a white base... Well, that's what I wanted to happen!
The base batter reached a light trace much quicker than I expected (of course that's what happens when you use different oils)! So I quickly separated the batter into two cups and proceeded to stick blend the mica mixture in. Well I stick blended too much, so I had a medium trace. I now had to pour/plop the color in the mold. The result were some uneven layers! It's not exactly what I wanted, but it is a lot better than I could have gotten! Plus, soap is soap.
I also CPOPed this batch (my first time doing that), and it was ready to unmold and cut in 18 hours! I was a little worried that it would overheat from the sugar I included, but nothing funky happened, so I think I'm in the clear!
