We experienced slight acceleration but no separation. As soon as we added the lye water to the fragranced oils, lots of bubbles formed. We slowly pour the lye water down the stick blender and don’t just dump it in all at once, so we thought this was worth mentioning, although it did not seem to impact the outcome for us. We reached an emulsion easily and then as we saw a thin trace form we paused blending and did a quick hand stir. With just one more pulse of the stick blender we had a medium-thick trace. We quickly began to pour into the mold, it was fluid enough to get into the mold but the last bits we scraped out of the pot were starting to stiffen. The batter turned bright yellow once at trace. About 30 minutes after we put the mold up on our rack, we noticed the soap was almost in a full gel and the top had a crack down the center. After 24 hours, we found the soap gelled all the way and the crack was barely visible. The color was a bright, dark yellow shade and the scent was very strong. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a dark tan and the scent remained strong. Expect this to move quickly and plan a simple design to avoid any surprises from acceleration.
