Swirl techniques

[RobertBarnett]

Does anyone have a list of the different swirls and such with description of the technique I can get. Things like the Clyde Slide, etc.

Thanks,
Robert

Not that I've seen, but one is in the works.

There is a section on the soap queen website with lots of techniques in which may give you some pointers.

Just go to YouTube and type in cp soap and swirls.

I like to go to the Great Cakes Soapworks Past Challenges page for inspiration sometimes. Not only can you see some beautifully done soaps in a different technique every month, but some of the entrants also post their process with different degrees of detail (recipe, lessons learned, colorants, trace time, tools, etc). If it is a technique you want a tutorial for, you can purchase it for a reasonable price through the Great Cakes Soapworks website.

But, as mx6inpenn posted, this forum's CaraBou has started what I think will be an incredibly useful project on the subject.
