Good to know re swirling in vertical moulds.  I am having a couple of
vertical moulds, a couple of loaf moulds (to allow ITP swirling)and a couple
of flat moulds (to allow ITM swirls) made the Liz Brook way J

Heather - my formica moulds - I have uprights and logs.  I use the uprights
for most of my soap and when I want to swirl or do something that requires
more attention, then I use my log moulds.  And yes the soap does sort of
slide off.  But with the formica moulds you must use the potassium lactate,
which makes the soap sort of shrink away from the mould.  It is difficult to
explain.  If I didn't use potassium lactate, I would have to line the
formica moulds.  

 

Srirling - I have done in-the-pot swirls for the vertical moulds - didn't
like it much - the soap had too far to fall and the swirls sort of became
hazy not definitive.  I use the log moulds for swirling.
