No it does t smell like lye and it’s hard to tell if it smells like fo because it’s such a small spot. I’m going to try the zap test.Does it smell like FO?. Usually my lye heavy soap has white spots throughout soap & gave me a Zap️ on tongue w/ the zap test.
Whisking in your FO instead of stick blending can help with this. You can also gently warm your FO by placing the bottle in some warm water. Both of those things help me slow my trace when adding FO to my soap batter.
I did this app, test and oh my goodness! That was a zap! I guess it’s a lie pocket I don’t know how that happened but it did. Only saw it on two of the bars, but I think I probably should throw the whole batch out.Whisking in your FO instead of stick blending can help with this.

Great advice thank you. I’ll do that from here on out. I always have FO spots but they disappear second or third day of curing. Sounds much more efficient. Thank you.
