Sorry for the cross post. I had posted this info on another forum.
Here is an idea I had to color HP soap. I think this method would work for CP as well.
I took an empty can from Pringles Potato chips and cut a circle out of the lid. I use a tube from an empty roll of paper towel as my guide. Now the tube will fit inside the hole I cut in the lid. With the disk I cut out, I had to trim the very edge off so it would fit inside the tube. I attached the disk to the end of a wood dowel with a screw and metal washer. The dowel had to be cut longer than the paper tube so I had room for my hand to hold it firmly. I put the paper tube inside the pringle can and filled the space between the can and tube with yellow soap. I used turmeric for the yellow colorant. Next I put the lid on with the paper tube sticking out through the hole. I mixed tomato paste to make a pinkish red color and filled the tube inside. I used the dowel with the disk attached inside the tube to hold the soap in place and I pulled the paper tube out of the can. Here is my results. Now I wonder what the soap would look like if I twist the tube or push it up and down while pulling it out. This was really easy to do by myself but hubby was standing nearby just in case I needed 4 hands! If I would have used white and yellow, I'd have eggs!
