Does anyone find that their soap shrinks much as it cures?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

OK... but the 3 oz loss is from how many ounces cut?
I dont' take a water discount. I use the full amount of water recommended in the soap calc.Danielito said:When you say you use "full water", what do you mean...?
you mean your bars shrink 50% or more??? wow. even with "full water" which is typically 27% (ish) I've not lost anywhere near that much of the size or weight. Heck, using the default amount of water, even if you managed to lose it all (unlikely) you couldn't possibly lose that much.jcandleattic said:Danielito said:jcandleattic said:Not sure.

5.5 - 6oz bars. But these are only with soaps that I use full water on. My water discount bars don't shrink as much even though they do shrink.
