Just received my Select Shades, I have a question about mixing and using them.... and any other advice not offered on the ss website.
1) If I want to make a solid color --- Do I mix my "parts" together with a spoon in a separate container and then add a little bit of soap to the color before adding it to the rest of the soap?
or
Should I mix the colors together and then add them to the entire pot?
2) If I want to swirl ---if I am making a 1# batch, do I still add 1 teaspoon to the amount of soap I am taking out to swirl?
or
Since I am only using-- let's say 1 cup of my soap for the swirl, do I cut back on the amount of ss I use, if so, by how much?
I think I get the part stuff although I did notice that it took more than 1 tsp. to make some of the color combinations.
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
