I have Catherine Failor's book, and while I'm not stupid (I hope!) I'm having trouble guessing the dilution rates recommended and how much that actually is.
For example, her chart has "percent actual soap" and "water added per pound of paste". At 30 percent, she has 16 ounces (1 pound) of water per pound of paste.
In my head, I see one pound of water per pound of paste as a 1:1 dilution, and NOT 30%. To me, 30% is much closer to 3:1.
What am I missing here?
