Layering is a fun and creative technique in soapmaking.

The secret to making a loaf soap like the one below is to wait about 20 minutes after pouring then spritz the layer with a coating of surgical spirit - this helps the next layer of soap 'stick' to the one underneath and minimises the risk of the layers splitting when the time comes to cut the loaf.
The cutting part is always my most favourite & rewarding part of the process!

Layered soap -  with apple followed by strawberry & blackberry/mango scented soap.
The ripple effect comes from this particular loaf mould design.  Silicone moulds are the best as they allow the M&P soap to pop out very easily.


More layered soap to follow....
