3.Once the Orange Soap has fully hardened, take your Scraper tool from your Tool Kit and cut ‘n’ pry the orange soap out of the corn cavities.
4.Cut out the Pumpkin Stem and fill that in with the syringe. Â Allow all of the colors to fully harden.
6.Check that temperature before you pour. Is it 130 or below? If it’s not, it may melt that first layer. Spritz the first colored layers with rubbing alcohol and slowly pour the background soap over. Give one final touch with rubbing alcohol and wait for 4 to 6 hours to pop your soap out.
Tip! I always keep warm boiling water on hand to rinse my syringe out in between each use.
Tip 2: I prepare ALL of my soap colors for these projects at once and then let them sit, covered, so I can work quickly.
Follow this same process for the Turkey Soap EXCEPT fill in the feather plume first. You can use the scraper/pick to scrape away any of the parts that spilled over. I used different gradients of yellow to make it look more varied and interesting.
These very basic scrape/layering techniques produced all of these bars of soap below. I love how versatile Melt and Pour can be with the Melt and Pour Tool Kit.
