Re: newbie question

K this is my first post and I'm still researching about soap, I have never made any and I plan on buying to make some with income tax! So my question is how much would you superfat the recipe and there is more than one option for some of the oils on the calc so which one do you use?

You can use many different types of oils... I would say while you are starting out, try to work with 1- oil recipes so that you can get a feel for what each oils' qualities are... here is a good link:

As far as superfat, the default is usually 5% give or take a few... I like about 7-8% depending on the oils Im using... but thats just me
