I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but the lye section on soapcalc confuses me a bit. I normally just leave it on the default because I'm afraid to mess it. The recipe I'm thinking of trying says to do a 5% lye discount. The options on Soapcalc are "water as % of oils," "lye concentration," & "water:lye ratio." How would I use any of these to give it a 5% discount? I did use the search function on here, but can't find a concrete answer in my results. I was going to just take the default 38% on Soapcalc & change it to 33% but since I don't know if that's correct, I'm hesitant to just do it w/o checking first.
Thank you.
Thank you.
