Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Just for clarity sake, when you say superfat, are you refering to a lye discount or in additon to a lye discount. Thanks nova I superfat at about 5 to 6 % in all of my soaps. Most lye heavy soaps are not so lye heavy that the extra fat would not take up the lye. Your end soap if done at 6% would be about 5 or a little less. Chris > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I am referring to the lye discount. I never superfat at trace. This is another place to create problems. Most experienced soapers can do this but beginners have trouble. It is something that comes with experience. If you have a balanced bar of soap you do not need to add oils at trace.
