I make 100% CO stain sticks with 0% superfat. But I dont like how hard it is. If I add some KOH, i figure that will soften the bar a bit, which will make it easier to cut, and easier to use. But I still want a totally solid bar, not dentable at all.
How much KOH should I use? I have made liquid soap, and regular soap, but I have never combined KOH and NaOH in a recipe before.
Should I start by doing a 90/10 NaOH/KOH split, or should it be more like 60/40? 80/20? Where is a good place to start a test batch at?
