Red Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 How does one get the textured looking tops on the soaps? Mostly I see them in the M&P loaf slices.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brempel Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 For melt and pour I wait till it starts to form a layer on top and then take the back of a spoon or fork and keep poking around in it and working it and you will get a lovely top!

kestagano04 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. Thank you brempel. By the way, that is some beautiful soap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAnna_EC Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 i wait for a thin layer to form and i take a skewer and make swirls on the top, lift it and twist it here and there, let it set up again til a thin layer forms and basically do the same thing again.ORi take my ol wisk and whip the soap alittle bit til its frothy, then pour it on the top of say my log, let it set up a bit and fluff it up with a fork...you dont wanna wisk it to much or it will turn to soap rubber, but just enough so it will settle with some foam on the top...hope that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkydancer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 To get the tops when doing cp- I have always poured the top at medium to thick trace and use a whisk to lift the thicker soap to make peaks.Not sure about the m&p method but I think some people whip it with a beater???
