Hi
You will have to call the manufacturer to confirm what's in it and at what percentage. They should tell you.
Welcome to the forum!

Canola oil is .134, soybean is .135. I'd be lazy and split it in half. As in, if I used 20 ounces of the blend, I'd plug 10 oz of soy and 10 oz of canola into the calculator.

Thank you both so much, I shall split it then.
This a great forum, glad to be here

I've used a similar oil in the past. When formulating my recipe, I ran the numbers for each individual oil, and the resulting lye requirements were almost identical. If I remember correctly, I just did a 50/50 split in my recipe and it worked out just fine.
