We experienced a moderate amount of acceleration but no separation. We used our stick blender in 30 second increments until we reached a light trace. After a quick hand stir to confirm trace the batter began thickening and turned bright yellow. As we poured the batter into the mold we could see that it was still slowly thickening. We gave the mold a firm tamp on the counter which helped settle the soap into the mold but the top had to be smoothed with a spatula. After 24 hours we observed the soap only reached a partial gel and the outer edges discolored to a dark brownish yellow while the center remained yellow. The scent was strong. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a tan shade. We did have some soda ash on the top that turned yellow. The scent was strong and true.
