iodized VS non-iodized salt in cp

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I don't think my first message came through. I apologize if you do get the

message twice.

I have been adding non-iodized salt (what I had on hand) to my water prior to

adding the lye as I has

seen many post that recommend this for a harder bar. I have a spreadsheet of

the properties of oils and under iodine it states that LOWER numbers result in a

harder bar. I am hoping more experienced soapers whould comment on the use of

iodized VS non-iodized salt. Does it indeed make a difference?? Or is it

something

else in the salt that contributes a harder finished bar? Any suggestions or

personal experiences greatly appreciated!

TIA,

Sue
