This lovely swirl of co/salt soap and powdered sea kelp had to be completely rebatched. :cry: My first successful swirl! The rebatch is a shoe in for any ugliest soap contest.

It was a salt bar. I left it too long and it was too hard to cut. I salvaged that bit, but most of it crumbled when we tried to cut.
 
What if you use a saw like a circular or a miter saw? Something meant to cut wood fast and with power? Maybe you need one of those tile cutters that uses water to lubricate the tile! :)
 
The rebatch was a Frankenstein nightmare. I will be grinding it up for housecleaning. :lol: I guess this soap and I just don't get along!
 
Awwww, it was so pretty too!! :(

Yeah, those saltbars go FAST...like, 3-4 hours and you MUST cut. Still pretty warm/hot to the touch when you do it.
 
Thanks everyone. I dug into my fabric dying skills for those swirls! At least I learned a valuable lesson about really researching what you're doing.
 
They were very pretty. I hope you can replicate it and cut much sooner!
