Trace be when ya take yer spoon er mixer an the soap leaves a trail in the bowel. Be a stage of thickinin, sorta like a puddin. If your "trace" of soap sets on top a the stuff in the bowl fer a second er two yer ready ta pour inta yer molds.
Aw, I ain't to tempermental about north an south. Now grandpa on the other hand, ya never wanted ta get him started on it.
