LovelyLathers Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 This may help you out. Make sure you read lots about safety and how to's on making soap.. It is important to read all about lye safety! You will be addicted once you start doing cp. It looks like you have everything you need for this one from crafty1 AJ. there are a lot more simple ones in the recipe section, too. Good Luckhttp://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I got an easy one for ya. With a 2lb mold, it cant hold 2lbs of oils. The 2lbs also has to include the water and lye amount as well as the oils. So the safest thing to do is plug in 16oz total oil wight batch into the soapcalc.http://www.soapcalc.com/calc/soapcalc.aspCoconut (76 deg, solid) 25%Grapeseed 18.75%Lard 25%Olive 31.25%which totals to:Coconut (76 deg, solid) 4ozGrapeseed 3ozLard 4ozOlive 5ozLye 2.25 (5% superfat discount)water 6oz (26% lye concentration)Soapcalc qualities:Hardness 37Cleansing 17Condition 58Bubbly lath. 17Creamy lath. 20Iodine 67INS 146Use an accurate electronic scale and follow Robins Tutorial: http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45126The best thing to do is let it sit in the mold for a couple of days before you unmold it.
