SoapCalc Tutorial - How To Use a Lye Calculator

In this tutorial, we're diving into SoapCalc, one of the most popular lye calculators among soapmakers! As I say in the video, knowing how to use a lye calculator is very important (and empowering!) for soapmakers as it is useful for checking existing recipes, formulating your own recipes, and resizing recipes. In this video, we cover the following topics: 0:00 Introduction 3:46 Basics of Soap Calc 13:27 Entering a Recipe in Soap Calc 30:33 Resizing a Recipe in Soap Calc 42:32 How to Swap Out an Oil in your Recipe 46:40 Using a 50/50 Lye Water Solution in Soap Calc There's more we could talk about, but this video was getting pretty long! In part two, we'll cover soap attributes and recipe formulation. I was sick with Covid when recording this video, so my voice is a bit mucousy (ha!), but hopefully it's not too obvious. :) Formulate Your Own Recipes (Part 2):    • Formulate Your Own Soap Recipes with SoapCalc   Direct Link to SoapCalc: http://soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcWP.asp (by the way, I mention using an adblocker in this video, but ads is how soapcalc makes money, so I take it back! I definitely want to support this tool, but I just find the ads are so intense on this website that it makes it distracting and hard to use, as they are located around the entire calculator) RECIPES ======= Find all our soap recipes here: https://muddymint.com/collections/ori...
