chiptooth Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I'm getting anxious about trying some hot process soap and have browsed the recipe section through a search but am not coming up with any specific recipes. Can someone chime in with some easy basic recipes for a beginner.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 You can really use any recipe for hp that you use for cp.If you are looking for a recipe with all ingredients you can find at the grocery you could try25 % Lard or Crisco25 % Canola25% Coconut Walmart25 % Olive Oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can use any recipe, just use the full amount of water (don't discount) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiptooth Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Okay, going to store today to get some stuff to try. I am a math idiot so when you give percentages....what would that consist of in "measurement terms" for a soap recipe...like 1/2 oz. I've read and re-read the HP instructions and hope I do okay. Is there someplace with recipes like for adding jojoba beads or dried stuff etc.Thanks for your help on the ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 converting a % to an oz depends on the size of your recipe. Say you're using a 2lb recipe then that's 32oz. 25% of 32oz is 8oz (32 x 0.25 = 8) hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiptooth Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thank You...now I feel dumb, if I would've thought things through enough, I could've figured that equation out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Go here www.soapcalc.com put in the size batch you want, put in the percentages and it will give you all the info you need at the bottom. I always use ozs as my batch size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Yup, I agree with the others. I just use the same recipes for HP soap that I'd use for CP soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
