Okay, I put my numbers into soapcalc, and I came up with this: Ingredient Ounces Water 6.08 Lye 2.241 Coconut 76 4 Olive 12 Is this a good recipe to follow? I would like to use GM (can concentrate)...

We're in the same boat, you and I . . . I have most of the stuff, but no nerve! I'm starting off with cheap ingredients. That way, if it flops, I won't cry when I throw it out! lol Welcome :)
