This video shows my technique for making Drop Swirl cold process soap. This is also my entry for the Challenge Club/Saponification Nation Drop Swirl Challenge in January 2019. Stick around for the soap cutting. Please turn the volume down and bear with me while I learn video editing.
Music will be addressed in future videos—no need to comment on that.
This is an advanced soap making technique. If you have never made cold process soap, please research soap making basics, especially lye safely. Here is a video about lye safety. youtube.com/watch?v=yR6ttCSrLJI&t=30s
