How can I size a recipe to use exactly 6 oz. of lye?
You can use the “Resize Recipe” command in SoapMaker to make a recipe using a particular quantity of lye. For example, if you have a recipe using 100 oz of base oils that requires 15 oz of lye, and you want to resize it to use 5 oz of lye, then you’ll want to reduce your recipe to 33.3% of its original size. (5 divided by 15) Click the Resize button on the Recipe toolbar, and set the Percentage of original size to 33.3%.
