The 2 1lb batches that I made never made a full trace. I hand stirred it seem like forever and went ahead poured into mold. After 2 days in the mold I took it out and cut it. The 1st batch I did a tongue test to see if zapped like you guys talk about. Nothing it just tasted like soap. So I went ahead and washed my hands in it to see what it would do and feel like. It made a nice creamy lather. I did not sent it, but I like the "just soap smell" it left. Now the family is fighting to see who uses it first, but I put back up for a few more weeks just in case. I ran both batches thru the soapcal9 and did just what it said. BUT I'M HAPPY I STILL GOT SOAP!!!!
