They will bead up, but once the stick blender hits them, they disperse beautifully! You can also use a little bit of oil, but I've had better luck with the glycerin.<br><br>My first salt bar experiment didn't work so great (you can read about it on my blog www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blog), but the second looks much better. I'll probably post about it tomorrow.

Do you add it at the start or once the soap traces? <br><br>Anne-Marie: Yup it was FD&C #1. This is interesting since the place I bought it from does not mention any discoloration. Ah well...maybe I can call the soap purple rain.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138854950761004976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725066283723489805.post-10249735398672596662008-05-27T11:24:00.000-07:002008-05-27T11:24:00.000-07:00What FD & C color was it?

One of the blue FD & Cs goes a lovely purple in CP soap (blue number 1) so that could be why it went a lovely purple?Anne-Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897791546363838272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725066283723489805.post-33118403600296067782008-05-25T17:26:00.000-07:002008-05-25T17:26:00.000-07:00Sarah - you have some beautiful soaps!
