When using the room temperature method of soap making. Isn't it dangerous standing over the lye and melting the butters---isn't there a concern with the fumes? Do you cover your nose and mouth at this time?
Answer:
You do not pour the lye solution until it has become clear and the lye crystals have dissolved. By that point the lye fumes should have dissipated.
