SOAPCALC results change

[pure&simple]

Has anyone ever noticed that the results of a 'batch' on soapcalc change on you?

I play around with the % of oils that I would like to use on a batch and sometimes the results come out different on the same formulations. Does this happen to anyone else or am I seeing things?

I've had that happen too, and and figured out the batch size or lye concentration changed back to the default on me. Now I double check those each time I change anything and recalculate.

No, you're not seeing things. Every once in a blue moon the same thing happens to me, too, and for no apparent reason that I can see (my lye concentration and superfat remain the same, as well as everything else- i.e. they did not change back to SoapCalc's default on me). I don't know why that is, but I just refresh the page, type everything back in, and all is well.

I wish that it would convert batch sizes automatically when switching from pounds to ounces and grams. It always defaults back.

When the results have changed, it is because for whatever reason, it has changed the lye:water concentration settings back to its default. Annoying, but now I know to double-check it.

Glad to know that I'm not seeing things, or my computer has a ???? in it. But I guess now I have to have less faith in soapcalc :cry:

I think soapcalc is fine you just have to pay attention to what it is doing.

Ditto.

It's still my favorite 'go-to' calculator of choice, but if it makes anyone nervous, there are other calculators out there. And if it comes down to it, you can always calaculate your lye manually.
