Tracing happens in about an hour or so. If you stir for an hour and a half and it still hasn't traced, just put it into your plastic lined box mold. It should be fine. 

This would be in the hard category of soap. It is quite white and resembles the color of cream cheese. :) When I was making my first batches of soap I used this recipe. When ever company came over and saw my bars of soap drying in the living room, they asked if it was cheese and they kinda wanted to eat it. But I wouldn't let them. ;)

Castile is a word that really doesn't mean anything anymore in soapmaking.  It used to mean soap which was made using olive oil from the Castilian region of Spain.  These days I see soap for sale marked 'Castile" which is made from 100% coconut oil!  Soap makers have pretty much settled on the meaning that the soap contains mostly olive oil.  I suppose it is the snooty soap maker's compromise. I am most assuredly a soap making snob!
