OK, I just accidentally dropped the clasp on my thermometer into my lye. Not knowing what it's made of, I quickly scooped it out and threw it into some water. And the water turned blue! So I'm thinking it was aluminum, right? So here's my problem. If you accidentally dropped some aluminum into your lye, is the lye ruined?? I really need to figure this out before I bother mixing my lye into my oils! help?
