Kaybee23 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The Sage (MMS) calculator will convert it for you, you just key in the amounts and click on the "calculate lye" button it will give you the percentages for each of your ingredients.

Bunny Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I got a totally different set of percentages..Crisco - 52.94Coconut- 11.76Lard - 23.53Grapeseed - 11.76And you need to resize this recipe unless your scale is accurate to .1 grams, 2 pound minimum to keep it totally safe.

cindym Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 When I first started making soap I would use the MMS calculator and then run it through www.soapcalc.com by percentages. This helped greatly and now I only use the soap calc for recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
