How did this turn out in the end? Did the softer translucent spots ever fully cure/harden? I just unmoulded my 4 batch I have ever made....got a little more adventurous and added charcoal and a green colorant (used glycerin for the colors) and this is my first time I have soft "clear" spots in a few spots on the edge.

Welcome :).
 
Hello @m_verg - this post is more than ten years old, and person who started it hasn't been on the forum since then. So you probably won't get a response. ;)

Typically you will want to start a new thread to ask a question about your soap. But from what I can see in your picture, the "clear" spots are just glycerin rivers. They usually result from using a low lye concentration (high water), Fortunately, they are just cosmetic and don't affect the safety of your soap. Some people even try for them on purpose because they look kinda cool. :)
Thank you very much. I did some research and had hoped that may be it after seeing some like that...that's how I came across this site. Look forward to reading and learning. Thanks again.
