small holes in soap

[Mary-Jane]

What cause the little tiny holes throughout soap after cutting.
Would you consider a bad thing?

Can't tell a thing without a picture. Could be air bubbles

 

[Mary-Jane]

As soon as I can figure out to send a pic I will show it.
I was thinking they were air bubbles but not sure. Very small.

Also could be from cutting with a wire. So you might have to tell us a bit about your process.

Thanks Penelope I forgot to mention the cutting with a wire. That can certainly be another cause

I was going to mention that but looks like it's covered.

Bandwidth limits the size of the picture that can be uploaded so you may need to resize the picture.
Trying to upload a picture file that is too large is the most common problem with loading pictures.

Don't ask how I learned this....

Thanks for answering. I use the hand cutters.

What do you mean by hand cutters ? That could mean anything, we need a photo to help you.

Might be your stick blender needs to be replaced.

 

[Mary-Jane]

Never thought of that!
Thanks!

No, its not a bad thing. Most all my soaps have some degree of holes. My stick blender pulls air into the batter and I cut with wire so its almost guaranteed I'll get some kind of tiny holes.
