[soapcraft] Re: 100 gram bar

I have it here, it is vegetable shortening – ingredients:  hardened coconut 
oil, soya bean lecithin – that’s all.  What would I tick on the soap calc for 
that?

Someone please correct me if i am wrong but kremelta is palm oil?  Rebecca 
might also be able to confirm this.

Cool thanks heaps, I will give it a go.

I use Kremelta in my soap batch – what would you say would be the same oil in 
the soap calculator, because when I looked kremelta wasn’t there.  I could 
change from kremelta and use the similar product. I am also using coconut oil 
which kremelta is made from.

I did a screen cap to help explain this, so take a look here: 
http://tinypic.com/r/dow713/3

In the first box (look for orange 1) you go across and enter the details for 
the soap you are going to make;  which Lye you are using, the total oil weight 
you are using, lye concentration, how much superfat and fragrance you wish to 
add ..

In the second box you choose the oils you are wanting to use, double clicking 
these will make them show in in a list where I put the orange 3 ...

Then in the box with a 4 you can go down and enter how much of each you want, 
by weight or % .. This will bring up the 'supposed' characteristics of the 
resulting soap where I put the 5 ..  And I say supposed as there are a some 
known inaccuracies on soap calc and it doesn't take things like superfat etc 
into account etc ..

Then you click the calculate recipe button down the bottom, and then view 
recipe .. This will then bring up a second window with your recipe ready for 
printing and the total of Lye, Water, fragrance weights all listed for you ..

I hope this helps ..  But personally I'd advise against making a 100gm batch 
unless you have a super duper accurate scale - 500gm minimum would be my 
recommendation ;)

Thanks. That’s great.

I’ve looked at the soap calculator, it confuses me totally.  It would be great 
if there were some simple step by step instructions.  I’ve looked at help but 
that’s pretty full on too.  Would anyone be willing to put up some step by step 
instructions?

Palm 30 gms
Coconut 30 grams
Olive oil 40 grams
Water 37 grams or mils
Lye 14 grams

For making one bar.

I just used the soap calculator on soapcraft.
Once you get the hang of it its very easy.
