I am wondering if there is a straight forward way to create a recipe with only the quantity of lye on hand. For example, I have 7.3 ounces of lye left over. I need how much oils I have in hand?? Is there a formula? Or is it a plug in and play with numbers kinda game?

I actually had to do just that a little while back I had exactly 35 grams of lye left... I pretty much had to mess with it until it equaled the amount.. I dont think there is an easy way to do it... I used one oil (EVOO) just to make it easy on myself)

That's what I was kinda thinking too. I'll have to play around with the numbers tomorrow
BTW, thanks again for your help. Soaps in mold now, looks good. I'll let you know how everything comes out later. Maybe if I get an energy boost I'll figure out how to get some pictures of it up. lol
