It is exactly the same way, except that the weight is of one litre or 1.5 or two litres or whatever.would end up the same ratio, if you used a lye calculator

All this fuss, I would have no trouble with a lye calculator, I have good scales, I just basically wanted to know the weight of oil per litre without weighing for calculations in my head, I do not buy oil by weight and would rather not have odd amounts left over,but have resigned myself to...

The mistake I made the first time was to use a bamix and the caustic did not agree with the alloy but since then I got a very cheap new looking stainless stick mixer from a car boot sale which looks the ants pants.

Soap making is not a hobby to me, I just wanted to make some I have had a bulk lot of turkish stuff in big blocks that looked like mums laundry soap which I still have.I have not made lots but my first foray was so easy, just under 4 litres,slightly less water than recipe and a bit of sodium...

Just made my first batch and learned a new trap for the unwary. I used one of the original stick blenders (bamix) without thinking of chemical reaction,(the stem is made of aluminium) I now have a batch of soap with an aluminium oxide content. It will probably be safe to use or I may have...
