Lye bubbles in GM soap... pls help

[ohsoap]

I used frozen GM for the 3rd time. Last time I did not put my water solution in an ice bath and my soap went orange-brown so I thought the lye solution got too hot.
This time I had an ice bath but my lye did not completely disolve, I couldn't tell because the milk kinda looked curdled (which was that same as the last time). The only difference was the ice bath, could it have been TOO cold?
If I rebatch my soap, will the GM change color in the heat?
I have little lye bubbles all in my soap. I'm guessing I will need to add more oils to use up the extra lye, or should I just throw it away and start from scratch?

I am not a pro and I don't know about rebatching.

I have given up mixing lye to the goat's milk. I use part of my liquid as water or aloe juice and use that liquid to mix my lye with then once everything is room temp I mix my liquid lye mix to my oils and then add my goat's milk. I don't let it gel and my soap is a cream/light tan color.

Even if I mix my water in ice bath to get the liquid to cool off quicker the lye sticks to the bottom of my pan. I don't know how to keep it from happening.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

np, I'll mix it differently next time. Do you think I can save this batch?

I don't know for sure, I haven't rebatched anything that was lye heavy. From my understanding you can only rebatch a lye heavy or light batch if you know the exact amount of lye or fat you left out. If I was to try, I'd say make sure you dissolve the soap VERY well with some water before you add extra oil. But really it probably isn't worth the risk. No matter how well I mix, melt, or manhandle my rebatches they never completely dissolve the original batch and I'd be worried someof those lye pockets would be left undissolved.

You could rebatch it but most likely it will turn brown. Sorry

ok, I will chop it up to a new learning experience.
