Fun Soap Design Technique with Recipe - Sea Salt and Sage

A fun experimental type of cold process soap pour using the salad spinner insert. This design technique for soap creates a little extra "Pizzazz". You'll want to pour this when your soap batter is fluid and just between emulsion and trace. Of course, you can experiment with any thickness. The thicker your batter, the more distinct design you'll get from the strainer.

Make sure your salad spinner has the vertical slots (although you can use any style to experiment.)

***Test batching: I recommend doing a test batch if you're using a new recipe, fragrance oil, or special additives. You don't want to ruin a large batch if things don't go as planned! This is my test batch size. You can adjust yours to suit your needs.
