Striped Quartz Soap

This soap tries to emulate a multi-color piece of quartz that I saw at the University of Alaska's Museum of the North. Thanks to fellow soaper Laura Waldo for her help with the design, color choices, and operating the camera for this video. And apologies that the camera goes out of focus rather a lot -- that was not Laura's doing -- it's a new camera and I'm still learning how to set it. It was trying to focus on a fixed point that was not always where we thought it was. Here are timings for the various parts of the video, in case you want to skip ahead: 0:01 Introduction 0:40 Recipe 1:28 Colorants 2:06 Mixing the base batter 3:13 Dividing the batter into the colors 4:58 Mixing the colored batters 5:45 Pouring the mold 13:12 Finished pour 13:22 Unmolding 14:16 Measuring the loaf for bars 15:00 Cutting the bars 18:00 The finished bars
