Layers Made Easy

Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

Yes, it’s that time once again! Soap Queen TV is here.

This week’s episode is all about layers. I make a very boldly colored soap to show how you can take a plain mold and spice it up.

  1. Sometimes (even when I don’t put my soap in fridge or freezer), my layers seperate when you use them. Can anyone tell me why? Am i waiting too long to add the second layer? I do spritz them with alcohol before adding the next layer.

    • Hi Jennifer!

      How long are you waiting in-between pouring your layers? Sometimes if you wait too long they tend to separate. We normally suggest waiting until the first layer has a hardened a bit and then spritzing that layer liberally with rubbing alcohol and then pouring the next layer. =)

  2. SoapyLove, I totally call it my 'Rastafarian' soap! Or it could be an homage to Bob Marley with the color choices as well. I was just going for super fun, bright non-bleeders and it ended up with that Carribean theme.

  3. Great video!! So clear and understandable. Thank you!

    That soap didn't remind me of a mango and peach, either, but it does remind me of the Caribbean! 🙂

  4. Great Job as always~ I LOVE the outtakes~ they're so cute~ Also, really enjoying the series~ I'm such a novice M&P'er~ but not for long~ understanding it much better now~Thanks for all the tips/techniques~!

  5. Wendy, I fixed the layers. Thank you so much for letting me know. Phew.

    Totally awesome that you did the erasers and that your daughters appreciated it. Yay! I love that you're introducing them to soap at an early age.

  6. Hey Anne-Marie,

    The links in the bleeding color post do not work. I was just wondering what specific colors will not bleed in Melt and Pour, so I hope you can get the link worked out!

    I just did embedding erasers in soap with my daughters and nieces and they had a ball!!!
    Thanks so much,
    Wendy

  7. I just love your videos, they are so inspiring. I never did much with M&P before, finally made my first swirled loaf and I am hooked. I love it!
