Ty so much I have watched so many videos on here and no one was explaining how to get the number of oils!!!

@saponify6677 17 дней назад

You are most welcome Junelle. Using a soap calculator like soapmakingfriend is more accurate as it also takes into account your specific water ratio if you maybe want to use a bit more or less water. This manual method is a good indication when you use 1:2 lye to water ratio.

Hi tannie Ansie. And for a pvc pipe? The same? Thanks alot xx

@saponify6677 7 месяцев назад

Hi Rochelle, yes if your pipe can hold water filling to your max mark and measure it. Or if it's like mine and only holds thick soap batter, use rice or something similar. You can also use an online calculator to calculate the volume for a cylinder if you want to go that route.

Hello Maam, your video is really insightful but i would love to know how to calculate the amount of oil per kg of soap base..can you please help me with that? thank you

@saponify6677 2 года назад

Hi Geet, thank you so much. It would depend on the amount of water you use to disolve your lye, if you use two parts water and one part lye 2:1 you would use about 700grams of oil (70% of your total weight) for a one kilogram batch of soap.

@86jenita Год назад

Can we calculate oil level 60% not 70%?

@saponify6677 Год назад

Hi there. You surely can do that if you use a very high liquid content. Although I suspect that at 60% even when using 1:3 lye to water, your molds might be a bit under-filled. But best is to make a small batch and see how it turns out. Personally I prefer to end up with rather a bit more batter than less than extra bit just go into a small single mold as my tester soap.

@AD_Eydi Год назад

What about the additives? 70% amount of oil fills the mould. so when other components are added, salt, herbal powders, etc, the mold overflows :(

@saponify6677 Год назад

Normally the amount of additives are negligible, but if you do want to adjust for additives you can discount some water, as this method makes use of a 1:2 lye to water ratio. You can go down to a 1:1 ratio. Just as long as you use at least the same weight in liquid as you have lye you will be fine.
