floaties on my lye

[peteyfoozer]

After I dissolve my lye I am cooling it , and it starts to get little 'floaties". It was clear before...is this going to cause lye pockets? or is it normal? Its just little specks you can see, but its different than before I dissolved it. It doesnt go all away with more stirring.

It's normal - I don't believe it shows up at all in the finished soap.
But if you want to be sure, strain the lye into another container before adding it to your soap.

Thanks! I am relieved, I wasn't too sure what to think about it! :shock:

Just ignore them.
I used to strain away, but now don't bother.
