I had been having issues with recipes low in olive oil and high in harder oils - despite low temps, trace was too fast to really do anything, and mixing color in made things worse.
I took the suggestion I got here to hand mix those recipies instead. What a difference! "Stick Blender, you and I have to have a little talk: we are not going to see each other very much from now on."
Just finished a well behaved batch that was very easy to work with - I even got to add an extra color. Now that's good soaping when you have time to rummage around your supplies.
The only problem I see that that if I look really close - I can see that I could have mixed the color a little better. But its the kind of thing you'd only notice if you were looking at it very critically.
Thanks everybody
