Soap makers -- how many of these would I need for a 3-lb batch?

I use this mold for cold process soap and have found that 45oz oil weight (2.8lb) fills two pans perfectly.

I use these to make my facial soaps and I use 24oz oil and it yields 35.47 oz . I never did bigger batches but you can work it out and see this works really great . No left overs exact.

Just worked it out , you will need 3,( 48 oz oil recipe yields 70.94oz) , you can recalculate to make sure its ok .

I use one packet of starter or a tablespoon of a previous batch per quart of milk. Hope that helps!

3 ounces concentrated solution per gallon of water for manual use, and if using in a machine, fill soap tank halfway with concentrated solution, and the other half with warm water (or 50/50 mix if not filling to the top).

The one I received had 32oz, it is watery, so a foaming soap dispenser will help. I used and empty Bath and Body one. :) lol

This will be ideal for you. I must say, I used it for making soap and they came out very nice. I believe you shall be pleased.

To the best of my knowledge each soap is about 4.9 oz. They are as big as a palm of a hand. They are "regular" size soaps, except round. Hope this helps.

I would have to agree with the soap in water taste, but I then bought the 500 count box of 0.8 oz packets (lemon and lime) and use 6 daily in 64oz's of water. That works great and will continue to buy. The other is for cooking and baking. I found out the hard way.

There are times we have 3 gallon bottles in ours. I'm certain 2 gallon ones would work well too.

I make my own laundry soap. I'm chemical sensitive soooo. Here is my recipe. 16 cups baking soda, 12 cups washing soda, 8 cups grated Castile or soap flakes. Combine all ingredients (add essential oil) if you want. Mix with a whisk. Use 1/8 of a cup. This recipe is enough for a family of 4 for a year. Good luck!

Without having ever made soap I guess it would all depend on whether or not you want air added to the mixture. If there should not be air and only a dense bar then do not use the balloon whisks. I have a flat whisk I use to remove lumps and blend so it sounds like that's what you might need.

Yes. The only oil used to make the soap is certified organic extra virgin olive oil. The price is for three 8 ounce bottles. By the way, this item is our best seller! We are also selling it in quarts and gallons.

The instructions/description on these say to use 3 per 10 pound container. I use 1 per jar, regardless of size (pint, quart, whatever) and they seem to work fine.

You should be able to add a couple of drops to your soap recipe. The key is to not use too much because your soap will not set properly.

Yeah, that is strange! But the soap says 32 oz, as in 2 pounds. Sorry, your guess at the discrepancy is as good as mine. Ha! Feels like 2 pounds to me! Good soap.

We use between 2 to 3 oz. per week. That seems to work well for our septic system and my brothers does the same with good results.

I use 4-5 soap nuts until they start to fall apart. Here's the website: http://www.naturoli.com/soapnuts/directions.html#. Hopefully you'll get the answers you need. If you don't find it here, don't hesitate to call them!

Maybe this mold changed, but I should have double checked, because I have been planning my soap waiting for the mold to arrive. I used the measurements provided here to begin planning my recipe. Upon receiving and measuring, the inside measurements are 10x3x3 and the mold holds 48oz. To measure molds for soapmaking you multiply all 3 dimensions by .40, equaling 36 ounces for base oils. Add in 30% water and there is another near 11 ounces. This mold holds 48 fluid ounces and makes 3 pounds of soap, uncured. Very happy with it though. If you buy this, plan on building a wooden support for it as the center gapes with the pressure of the fluids.
