For HP: Adding EO: After trace, or after full gel?

[cheesenoodle]

What do you prefer and why? Not sure what to do. This is what I can think of:

Adding at trace pro
-Easier to mix in evenly throughout the batch

Adding at trace con
-EO vaporizes out more, losing EO in the process

(..and the opposite is true for adding at gel)

I always add it after cooking it and cooling it slightly, that way the fragrance doesn't burn off during the cooking phase.

After cooking - and it mixes just fine.

always after cooking. that's when i also add whatever milk i'm using, which really helps make it smoother.
