I finally got my bars the way I want them. It took alot of trail and error, but I am finally satisfied with the results. I melt my oils similar to what you do, only I take them to trace and remelt if they are too mushy to pour. I do that to prevent grainy bars down the road, and it works...

hi did a test on your suggestion. All is well. It turned out great.!! thanks for hour help

thank you! Ill test your suggestion later on today and get back to you!

I put my recipe in the crafters choice batch size calculator, which converts % to weight I guess I didn't realize if I change the oil I will need to jimmy the rest of the ingredients, and that is where I am stumped. How am I supposed to determine what to increase or decrease to get to 100%. I...

thanks for your help! Ill let you know how it turns out!

I'll give it a try tomorrow. I have mango, shea and cocoa butter on hand. so It would be 10% mango and 7.40% oil. or I could go even lower with the liquid oil to 12% mango or another butter and 5.40 % liquid oil. ( total of the oil in the recipe is 17.40%). One last question- I will first...

I made a small test batch today, 5.0% ewax, 19.40% melt and pour, 17.40% oil, and 58.20% sugar. I use grams when measuring. It had alot of oil on top, so much so that I had to put a papertowel on it to sop up the oil. I took a few out of the mold, and it does hold its shape, but its oily on...

Awesome! finally got the math right!!! Yes the carnosic acid is 7%. thanks so much for the check!

I I have a brand new bottle of hemp and want to add roe to it. Can you tell me if my math is right?? 2628.74 x 0.05 =131.437divided by 100 = 1.31437 grams

can I use Citric Acid and ROE together? I want to add ROE to a gallon of oil and then will be adding CA into my water when I make a batch. Is there a formula for using ROE in such a large amount of oil? And can I safely use ROE and CA in a batch of soap? Thank you

lol! yes i changed it to make the calculation easier! got it! Thank you so much for all your help today! Im going to make a small test batch tomorrow

I change it to percents to see if it comes close to 100 s and then change it back to ounces or grams for the final recipe?

I thought it a bit greasy, and I didn't think I added enough e wax to offset that and make a creamy wash off.

the calculator above shows that 2 is what % of 10.3. equals 19.41? Was I supposed to change the decimal point??

ok here I am again--- e wax 0.3 equals 2.91%, oil, 19.41%, 19.41% base, sugar, 58.25%. If this is wrong, I need to go back to school... Why does the recipe need to be in percents, when you have to change it back to ounces? I don't get it. I would have thought the total for the recipe should...

That is not the number I used. I used the first box to get the percentage, which I thought was 2%, but obviously that was wrong. Let me try again. I changed the. e-wax to. oz, which came out to 0.3 ounces.

ok so the recipe is melt & pour 2%, Almond oil 2%, Sugar 6%, and e wax is 0.3%. I hope thats right, Im not that great at math, even if its staring me in the face....

ok Ill do your suggestios and get back to you! thanks!

Do you use 10 % ewax which includes your sugar? Or 10% ewax for just the oils? Thanks!

here is my recipie.2 oz. Melt & pour,1 ounce hemp oil, 1 ounce almond oil, 6 oz sugar and 9 ml of emulsifying wax. After reading all the replys I realize I am not using enough Emulsifying wax. Can somone tell me how much to use or a percentage I need to use. I take it the percentage would be...
