For that batch I did an In the Pot Swirl and then added a little to the top and swirled that. It's the same way I did the Black Raspberry Cream and Orange Patch

I can swirl...just love the shape of the bar. I'm ordering one...of the molds. NO more parchment paper!!

Amen to no more lining! I have had soap stick twice in the log, but only when I tried unmold when the soap is still pretty soft. Mineral oil Lightly rubbed on the log mold and no more. I think the log stuck because it is so long (22.25 ") that it gets a suction that can be hard to break. It's only been the log mold that stuck.

I hated cutting those foam liners that I was using before. Soap didn't stick, but I was replacing them every week because they warp.

I use vaseline when I'm using my pvc pipe round molds...I think mineral oil is probably better because it is less sticky. Petroleum based oils do not saponify.

I just ordered all my oils...for classes, pumpkin festival, and the craft fairs. I soaped tonight with pureed pumpkin and put it in the blender with heavy CREAM first...and then added it at trace. IT is a lovely creamy orange color....I cannot wait to unmold it. I've been peeking on it all day.
