Whoooweee! Something about tedious assembly line work is kind of soothing.
Not sure if the time lapse video will show, but it’s fun! I’ll post it to my IG account too.
If I do the rainbow I’ll have to prep 4 more too!
🤪

I love the Pull through technique! There's a different surprise waiting inside every time 😊 And you don't need 'specialty' tools to get started. My first one was done using a piece of plastic from the side of an old basket that was being thrown out.

Here was another rainbow style soap that’s giving me more confidence to try it in a pull through. I expect some muddy spots, like in the center here, but hoping for mostly pretty rainbow action! (Photo borrowed from FB for inspiration)

So, in the future, if I want a full column, and I’m using more than my usual 4 colors, then I have to increase my recipes volume. I’ll be a bar or two shorter than usual.
Batter thickened up a bit with the time it took to do 8 colors. Hopefully I still get most colors in each bar. I’ve noticed with thick batter that it doesn’t “pull through” as much. But it’s less likely to blend together too much also, so that’s good. We shall see...
How long do I have to wait to cut?!!
