I see a lot of CP soap that has gone through partial gel phase where the center is darker and gets lighter around the outside edges...what if you want your entire bar of soap to go through gel phase so not only the center is darker but the entire bar is? Do you just have to wait longer before cutting it? Like, wait 48 hours before cutting opposed to 24? And is there any negative effects to waiting longer to cut your soap..ie: 24 hours vs 72 hours..is there such thing as having it covered for too long?

If you know that the recipe and the mold will give you partial gel, CPOP the soap. Take it to a medium trace, pour into your mold then put into a 170 degree (US) oven til it completely gels. Then take it out, let cool and cut.
