Mixed at about 105 degrees, and it traced pretty quickly. However, after molding and putting it on a shelf, I covered it (as usual) and found it had gelled a couple hours later. I uncovered it at that point and let it rest. It had cracked a bit because of the heat. The smaller bars I put in a sheet mold hardened without incident and looked a pretty shade of palm-oil-orange.
