Soapmaker 3

[fatfacedcharlie]

I had all of my recipes on bits of paper and saved in various places on my PC, so I finally bit the bullet and got myself a copy of soapmaker 3 so I could keep everything in one place. What a great bit of software. All of my recipes are now in one place, I can keep track of how much it is all costing me (just hope my other half doesn't find out ) and I can see how much I've got of all the oils and other bits so I know when it's time to spend more money! Happy days.

I've never heard of it. Which version did you get? (I just googled it)

Got the lite version, soapmaking is just a hobby so I didn't all the bells and whistles. It's still got more features than I'm likely to use tho'

Sadly, it is for Windows-based computers. I'm a Mac girl.

Is there a demo version? Im not one for buying softwear without trying it first.

I love Soapmaker 3. I have the professional version and it has made things so much easier to track. It does take some time to set it up but once it's all in it's a breeze. Well worth the money whether your a hobby soaper or have a business.

souljasam - no there isn't a demo because if you speak to ay soaper, or even lotion maker that uses the program you are going to get the same response. Amazing and necessary piece of software....

I can't imagine life without it!

I have Soapmaker 3 Pro and love it.

I have soapmaker 3 and it's easily the best thing I've ever bought for a hobby. It really helps me keep track of my spending!

No more "I know I got that at a cheaper price... but WHERE was it?"
No more "I think this costs around $.98 to make... (really it was $1.29!)"
No more "How much x do I have?" Now I print my low products before going to Costco. No buying oils that will go rancid before I use them because I overbought.

It saved me its cost in one month alone. So there you go!

Plus the developer is the husband of a long-time soapmaker who used to come on this forum. Haven't seen her in a while though

ok I just bought the lite version of Soapmaker 3. Now my question is: I am trying to add Peak's Sage & Lemongrass FO to the list & it's asking it's specific gravity. I am looking at the bottle but it's horribly smudged from use over the weekend.

See if you can get the MSDS from the supplier, ( I don't know if they're the same as in the UK?) They usually list a products physical characteristics and specific gravity should be on there.

I went to the help section. It said that I could put '1' if I wasn't sure & change it later.

I read somewhere, and I sure can't find it now, that since we weigh our fragrances, the specific gravity doesn't matter much but it does when done by volume. I wish I could remember where I saw that :/ I just put 1 in all of mine without looking up the MSDS.
