Teach Soap

Well,after I had learnt my 'palm oil' lesson the harder way, I faced with another trouble.
The other night I made all natural soap using natural colorants and e.o. The recipe was olive o. 31%, palm 30%,coconut 25%,castor 5%, sweet almond 4% and cocoa butter 5%. The whole batch 500 gr. SF 6%. I added about 30 gr of honey at trace. The recipe had been run though calculator. I used curcuma and TD as colorants.
Everything seemed to be just perfect till tomorrow.
When I cut the batch I noticed some unusual spots,which i'm showing you. (i forgot pics size allowed,so if I didn't upload it,i'll try later.

What do you think it might be? Could it be because of Honey?
The bach was insulated as I usually do.

Thanks!

I never upload at once
Now it's even uglier,I had to cut the pic several times.

Once again

Thank god I did it!
What do you think? Now,the image is slurry.

It could have overheated a little. It's hard to tell from the picture. It's best not to insulate when using honey or milk in your soap because they tend to make the soap more likely to overheat. Did you check to see if the soap zapped?

That could be from the honey. Honey tends to heat up a soap batch. Sometimes TD does as well. Is your TD oil or water soluble?

I have made a new picture,hope it's better now to notice specks,spots,lines,whatever they are. The image is almost half size of soap now.

You are better and faster than emergency calls, I deeply appreciate your responses.

Did the spots appear as the soap was curing? Or were they there right from when you poured?

The soap was perfectly smooth and I was extremely happy to handle with such a beautiful batter.
The next day,when I cut it, the spots appeared.

It's really hard to tell from pictures. Why don't we have teleportation available yet?

But to me, the white spots look like either TD, small air bubbles (which often appear white) and possibly "cutting" marks.

I used to get spots that would appear after the soap had cooled. Mine was either undissolved lye or air bubbles depending on which liquid I used.

Did you stick blend? And if so, did you make sure it stayed below the surface the whole time?

Did you use any oils with a high stearic content?
