Salt Bars

[kmarvel]

I think shunt was the one who got me hooked on avocado oil - I make most of my salt bars with 80%co 15%ao and 5% castor. They are my favorite.

I think Shunt got me hooked on Avo also. It is the same price as OO at WSP. So, I think I am going to switch for awhile.

Yes, that is what I generally do. Superfat at 20%.

Shunt, I have been setting my lye/oil % at 33% for all of my recipes. Is this ok?? Or should it be a different number. I don't understand actually how to set this number for soapcalc.

I usually do 35% for my salt bars. I find it gives me a some more time to swirl and get it in the mold pretty smoothly. 33% might be okay too. I don't find that my batter thickens quickly.

One of my favorite oils is Avocado. I just made some salt bars tonight with it. Good luck on your bars!

Thanks Jaccart. :-D
