what is the appropriated % of water in soap for pressing machine???
i found that it's different when making a soap with shaped mold and pressing machine. If i use 32% of water in shaped mold. My soap will has white stuff all over my soap. And when I use 35% of water with shaped mold. It will be OK. But when i use 35% water of oil then put it in a pressing machine. i found it quite humid and a little bit soft. A texture is too shiny. it's not like a market soap such as Protex or Lux that are matte and clear. So if there is anyone know about making a soap with pressing machine. Please help me to solve this problem will be highly appreciated.

Yes. This machine makes my soap yellow. Someone said that is a yellow colour from oil.
