    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    I actually quite like it after staring at the pics. I never knew there were so many options for a scale..lol. What model is it? I had been looking at getting a new one, but the restaurant supply stores only carry rubbermaid around here. Not only are they the last company that comes to mind when...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    The ability to create a recipe by weight will be available in version RC1 (Release Candidate 1). I did not want to include this in the BETA as I wanted more than an option to calculate a recipe by oz, and more than including metric. I want it to be able to switch back and forth between weight...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    Ah, yes, I know of the issues with applets, but assumed you meant JS, my apologies. You are correct, there are no applets on the site, the only exception may be the ad slot as it might be set to responsive on Google's side. Figures. I decided on a single ad on the site so it wouldn't be bogged...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    So, you have a scale the measures out as 20oz, or are you measuring by volume? I can't tell you how many scales I've gone through in my life, and all of them have displayed as xxLb xxOz. My food scales and postage scales also display it this way. It wouldn't be hard to add a setting for that if...

    Average Cleansing Number?

    I've only been soaping for a couple of years, so I could be wrong (I'm always learning). However, I'm basing this on information that was originally provided here (unless there is another destination abbreviated as SMF), and passed around soaping groups. Here's the excerpt from the doc for the...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    I absolutely am looking for constructive criticism! Yes, this is javascript powered and the only way to get live updates. What is the issue on Chrome? I have only tested Chromium as that is what is available to us Linux nerds. Most sites these days require Javascript for truly responsive...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    For this, there is only so much screen space on these devices. I also need it to be readable for the average age group of soapers. There will be changes to the phone scheme, but not that condensed, it would be unreadable to most. There is a known glitch with Android Portrait view where the...

    [HELP] 50% pure olive oil & castor oil

    I wouldn't throw it away or use it in any form if there is an unknown aspect. Contact them and demand a refund, even if you've used some. It is their responsibility to know what's in it. Because they don't, it is no longer your issue. If you believe it to be olive oil and it is purchased cheap...

    Average Cleansing Number?

    The Cleansing number is actually measuring Solubility, which is only one aspect of true cleansing. I as well ignore this

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    What phone/tablet are you using? I tested this on a Galaxy Tab and a LG GTab 8.1. Also, don't feel bad. There is no such thing as a programmer who doesn't make bugs, and this software is very new. I expected a lot more issues than has actually been encountered, so it's going very smoothly atm...

    Acid Citrik Neutralization

    In case you weren't trying to bring it neutral, but rather between 9 and 10: Not all soaps will turn (or remain) clear. Also, citric acid is a bit more extreme than using, say, Sodium Tetraborate or Chloride, so there are more than likely some reactions happening (potassium citrate, etc) that...

    Fiberglass Insulation soap

    My dad always told me to shower with as cold of water as you can stand, but if its a profession he is likely getting it into his pores with sweating etc anyway. At this point, I would say that he needs to find gear appropriate for the task. He needs denser clothing and tape the cuffs of his...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    Yes, the paid version will have the ability to store recipes on the hosted servers. Each "company file" or recipe book will be stored in their own database so no one can grab information they are not privy to. It will also cover everything from soap to lotion to bath bombs. This is a current...

    Avocado Oil - 18mo old

    I'm not sure on avocado oil specifically, but if it's bad it should take on a specific smell and may change color slightly. The only time I've had it noticibly go bad was when I stored some in a blue bottle, and lost it. After well over a year, I found it and there was quite a bit of clouding...

    [HELP] 50% pure olive oil & castor oil

    I agree with dixie, however this is how I look at it. You made the mistake of purchasing a 50% oil product, sure. However, since any portion of the oil is unknown to the supplier, and not labeled on the oil, it can not be legally used in any commercial aspect. You can't throw "Unknown oils at...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    Thank you :D Unfortunately, though, the HTML for the superfat drop down still point to "#" (a blank reference) rather than the function to switch it. I will get this fixed with the soap presets tonight or tomorrow. I'm feeling a little ill so will be taking a break from the project for the...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    Yes, there will be a pro version that is much more in depth, but YASC will always be free :) Actually, in accordance with the project origins (Sapo Desktop), all lye will be factored by their purity. I dislike the fact that SoapCalc assumes 100% purity. I should have this fixed with the soap...

    YASC - Yet Another Soap Calculator

    I'm really not sure where to post this, but since the sticky for the calculators is here, I figured this is where I should. I also added a post to the Calculator thread, as I would like to submit it, but would like to talk a little more about it. Currently, it is code-named: Project YASC (Yet...
