MsDammit Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Stupid question, but how do you make a master batch of lye? I just make 2lb batches of soap and mix lye every time, pita-it would be nice to make a big ol'batch that would last me for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Use this site: http://rivercitysoaps.com/dwcp/watercalc.phpLet's say you have 3lbs of lye and want a 33% solution. You plug in 48 ounces of lye, 33% and get the return value of water needed.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDammit Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Actually I found instructions that I understood at the dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks for that link, E. I might have seen it before, but never paid attention. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yeah, a MB of lye is nice. I'm too nervous to have that all mixed up and ready with the kids around, though. But I bet it would make things a bit easier. I hate messing with those beads. The less frequently I have to do it the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
