I thought I had. I didn't post the ingredients because I wasn't looking for a recipe, just a procedure. Believe me, before and after I posted I had been searching the net trying to figure out how to start. I have no interest in others doing grunt work for me. Here are the ingredients...

Using the chart below, what would be the sap value of Bacuri butter if you're using sodium hydroxide?

^^^This information was helpful. Saying that "this information was WRONG. Very wrong." was not. If the info was outdated by 2011 and there were clarifications made in 2014, fine. Say that, with or without the dates. But you don't have to make it sound like I pulled the information out of thin...
