Laying in the Letters

Using one of your , slowly squirt the liquid soap into the letters, flowers or "top" layer of the soap. Keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol handy if you get any pesky bubbles.

The lettering will take some practice. You'll need to heat up your soap base if it cools/gets too thick - but another 10 seconds or so should do. If you look in the Valentines Soap Project Gallery, you can see the different variations of top layers I did in both of the molds.
