Poured at very light trace - still feels soft

I think that your recipe can take a good water discount and still be fine. Lard and olive oil both trace reeeeeeaaaaally slowly, so you should have a good bit of time for swirling. Maybe start discounting each batch a tiny bit more than the last one, until you get to a place you like.

Your swirls are beautiful. Great job!

Thanks everyone

It's not zappy but still very soft. Might pop it in the freezer for a while
