Pouring Layered Soap

step one

Prepare your soap according to the Basic Melt and Pour instructions.

step two

Pour your first layer of soap. Wait approximately 15 minutes until a skin has formed on the soap.

step three

Optional Step: Score the first soap layer with a fork in several directions. If your first layer is clear, the score marks will show. The scoring is not necessary but it often helps to adhere the layers.

step four

Spray your first layer with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to break up any dirt or oil clumps.

step five

Pour your second layer of soap slowly to make sure the second layer does not puncture through first layer.

step six

Spritz with alcohol and wait for soap to harden fully.


The finished product - a beautifully handcrafted bar of layered soap!
