We experienced slight acceleration and minimal separation initially. The batter seemed to thicken quickly, but we could still see signs of separation. We continued doing quick pulses with the stick blender and alternating with hand stirring until our batter was a medium trace with no signs of separation. Despite the quick thickening, the batter was very workable and poured smoothly into the mold. After 24 hours, the soap was too soft to unmold. We checked almost every day to see if it was ready, and after six days it was firm enough to come out of the mold without tearing but was still quite sticky to the touch. We observed there was a small area that gelled in the center, and there was no discoloration. The scent was strong. After 30 days, there was no discoloration, and the scent remained strong. This would be an ideal fragrance for a multi-color layer; just prepare to work quickly.
