jbren Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Is it throughout the whole batch?Undisolved lye maybe? Does it zap when you touch your tongue to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have that happen sometimes - . I like to think the soap looks like marble. But if it happens on edges you will see it's really along the lines of embedded ash somehow.ETA: but lick a few to make sure they are not somehow veins of lye...

Lorrie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 are you using tap water? It could also be a mineral deposit from tap water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
