Using liquid lye solutions
by Anonymous
I am looking for a basic recipe, olive oil and coconut oil , I will be using a liquid lye solution 30% lye concentration. How much oils do I need and do I need to add extra water to my already diluted lye. I will be doing it hp. Thanks for any help. I really can't get my brain round the calculators when using a pre diluted lye.
Answer:I really wish I knew the answer to this one but to be honest, I've never needed to use a pre-diluted lye solution so the subject has never come up. I have always used lye crystals because they take up much less space, are easier to obtain here and store very well.
I will post your question just in case one of our readers has an answer for you.
Good luck,
