I FINALLY understand!!! I can't thank you enough! Between you and Lisa from "I Dream In Soap", I finally understand! I'm so humbled and grateful to you ladies and all of you FANTASTIC soap makers! My hope is to be at your caliber in the future! May God Bless you all 10 fold!

I absolutely love your scientific approach to everything. Your so specific on everything you teach. For people like me, I just don't retain something if it doesn't have details to explain. I've been making soap going on 5 years now, and while I'm incredibly familiar with soapcalc, I've never found someone to explain the inc/sat values. I came across this video and almost scrolled past until I seen your name. So happy I took the time to watch. I truly hope you realize how important your tutorials are to the soaping world. Thank you truly!

Thank you for helping me understand SOAPCAL., I just retired from working at a VA Hospital and now feel more comfortable understanding the process of making soap. Thanks again Dan.

OMG!!! Thank you soooo much. I'm starting back up again making CP Soap and of course, I've watched your videos millions of times, but I finally understood the FO calculation. I always just added a little extra, lol. Love Your videos and soaps.

Thank you for making this valuable video. I learnt something new just by watching this after coming from another video that mentioned you. I know this is almost 3 years old but thank you for helping me understand Soap Calc.

This was super helpful. I never knew about the numbers on the side that tell about saturated and unsaturated and whether or not that would tell you if the soap recipe is good for swirling. I learned a lot and I have been soap making for many, many years. Thank you for all of your knowledge! It really is much appreciated!😘

Came back for a refresher course on fragrance amount. Lately the scent isn’t as strong in my soaps. I was reading some articles that said to use the % of fragrance oil based on the total oil ounces not the total soap weight and I changed to that method of calculating FO. So came back to your video to double check and will change back to your method. Thanks again.

This video offers the best soapcalc explanation I have come across. Thank you!

[ImGinaMarie]

I've been looking high and low for someone to go over this with me and decipher soap calc....you sure make it simple!! Thanks a million!! Is there a tips and tricks #1?

[donnaclark]

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen on soapcalc. I'm sure I will refer to this often! If you have a tutorial on basic oils vs butters, that would help me. I use coconut oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil and castor oil. I'm going to try this today. Not sure if that is not enough hard oil. Thank you again!!!

[krystoljohnson]

Thank you so much for making this! I was trying to learn that calc yesterday (I'm beyond a brand new soap newbie lol) and it seemed more complicated than it really is! I had several Ah-Ha moments during this video, so thank you so much! love your channel and your soaps!

Hi in the water to % of oils I've been putting 30 and finding that my batter is getting to trace very fast. I can't do and good swirls because of this. Do you think it's because my water to oil ratio is too low? Should I try soaping at the default rate of 38%? Will that give me more time to work with the batter before thickening up? Please advise because I've made several batches and all have gotten to a thick trace before I wanted it to even with minimal stick blending.

This was very informative! Can you adjust your recipe for the size of your mold?
