Advice now? Too much lye?

[Zing]

People, I am soaping right now. I was supposed to add 298 g lye/water and I added 304 g; the lye to lye/water ratio is 32%. My oil weight is 663 g. Should I add more oil?

lye is 97.3 g; lye/water is 304 g; oils are 663 g.

Personally I think you are ok but there a many more experienced soapers on here who's expertise I will defer.

I think your overage is just in the water amount? So you have 6 grams too much of water if I am reading this correctly. With a 32% Lye concentration you should be fine.

I’m reading it that you added 6g too much of the already mixed lye/water solution? With a 3% superfat I think you will be fine. 6 g is a pretty small amount.

Yes, @Jersey Girl , I added 6g too much of the already mixed lye/water solution. I kinda want to delete this thread, LOL -- how many posts did I write in between stirring?! I was kinda in a panic, and then I remembered, oh, superfat is to make sure all the lye gets used up. Thanks @SPowers , @dibbles for weighing in!
