Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi ALL, I am new to soap making and for me to understand the oil and lye calculation I created for myself a spreadsheet on excel to help me with the ratio between Fat and Water. I would like to share this with you. I have listed the formulas between 5% to 10% of Superfat. All you have to do is enter the oz's of fat you want to use on the spreadsheet, the spreadsheet will calculate all the figures between 5 to 10 % of superfat. Also on the same spreadsheet is a calculation percentage formula of each fat used in making the soap. Hope this helps, Marie ---Original Message----- From: Soap Supplies [mailto:bill@...] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 9:56 PM Subject: Lye Calculators Hi All, Last Wed. I was out driving and picked this lady. We got to talking about what we each do, and just my luck she was a computer programer wiz. Before she went back home, I had her make me up a lye calculator. (for a fee) and ended up with two, since one single unit took up so much space on the site. www.soapmaking-soapsupplies.com/lye_calculator.html is the link to the one for sodium hydroxide. If anyone gets some free time check it out and put in some of your recipes and see how close I am on the water. Most interested if anyone does liquid soap, since I've never made any, intentionally that is. I have a seperate one for calculating the potassium hydroxide.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I compared it to my recipes in Soapmaker and yours came out higher in water although the same with Lye.
