We experienced slight acceleration but no separation. We used our stick blender to bring this to a medium trace, which happened slowly. Once we began to pour the soap into the mold we found it was thickening but did not become stiff. After 24 hours we found the soap had discolored to a dark burnt orange color around the edges while the inside was a light tan color. We observed the soap bars almost reached a full gel. The scent was pleasantly strong. We noticed over the 30 days of curing, the soap bars eventually became a uniform burnt orange color before slowly discoloring to a dark chocolate brown color. The scent faded a little but stayed true to the out of bottle character. Hand stir in the fragrance at a light trace to allow more time to work and choose a design that needs a medium to thick trace.
