But since this person doesn't even know the composition of his/her mix, it sounds more like they've taken waste oils and are selling them. Fine for biodiesel but NOT fine for soap. IMO.
Further, palm is not a "golden liquid"...
Q: What is the SAP value for this blend of oils? Surely unless you know the exact percentages of this blend you can't calculate SAP and without that you can't calculate the amount of lye needed.
A: that is why you test oil in soapmaking before you claim it makes 'rock hard soap'. i have made soap successfully from it by using mms calculator - i just nominate it as palm oil. if you look at our cp soap bars you will see the soap made successfully from this oil.

Which in my mind doesn't really answer the question. Sure you can "nominate" it as palm... you can call it soy... you can call it pasta sauce if you want to... and calculate your lye accordingly.
If it does happen to make soap it's only by dumb luck.
