I use soy. I heat it up to 190 or so, then add my dye. at 185 or so I add my FO, then I pour at 100, when it is slushy. COmpletely different then your directions, but you'll see that it works and most everyone who uses soy will say the same. It you will need about 2 weeks of curing to get a good strong scent. Soy is very tempermental and takes lots of patience. Good Luck!
