Grannyscandles Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Here is what I did.When I was making a batch of GM soap, I mixed my lye with half the water called for in the recipe and then used GM at trace for the remaining liquid. In another thread I questioned the cloudiness of the lye solution and the floaties in it. Because I was concerned, I mixed another batch of lye solution at the same strength to see if it happened again (which it did!)Anyhow, now I have this second batch of lye solution ready to go but not enough of the same batch of oils to use it in. I guess what I need help figuring out is the strength of the lye solution I have ready.It has 29 ounces of water and 21.65 ounces of lye in it. I think it is a 74% solution but I need someone to check my figures to be sure. I know at MMS you can put in your lye solution strength and it will tell you how much to use and that is why I am asking this question.Thanks in advance for your help.
