Soapers, gotta question for the experts. Here's my design for a loaf: Use a mini-cylinder for an embedded circle that will get placed in the middle of two horizontal layers. One layer is yellow, one layer is black. The yellow layer and the mini-cylinder will have red palm oil, the black layer will not have red palm oil (red palm oil really messes with colorants, uncolored it makes a yellow 'Dial' soap). Should I:
1. Day 1- Pour the red palm batter into the mini-cylinder and bottom layer of the loaf mold. Day 2 - insert the mini-cylinder and pour the top layer. OR
2. Day 1 make the red palm mini-cylinder. Day 2 Make one batch of yellow/red palm batter for bottom layer, make second batch for black/non-red palm batter.
What I'm worried about is two layers adhering to each other. Are there more options such as forgetting 2 horizontal layers and cutting up the pre-made yellow layer into large shapes followed by the black?
The reason I'm wedded to the red palm is I need a yellow and don't have any other yellow colorants. OR am I just over-thinking this (as I tend to do for everything in my life ) and I should just dump the black charcoal in red palm batter and hope I get a decent black? I'd appreciate your expertise! Thanks!
