Teach Soap

I was just going over my notes for a soap I made this morning and I'm almost certain I short-changed myself on one of my ingredients. My recipe says 4.8oz Shea butter and I'm pretty sure I used 3.8. Don't ask me why I think that......I've put the mould in the fridge because it has pastel colours in it and I decided not to gell, and now I've no idea what to expect. Will it be lye heavy? Recipe was:
Olive. 11.2 oz
Coconut 8
Palm 4.8
Shea 4.8
Castor 3.2 water 12.1, lye 4.3. Superfatting 7%
I used lilac fo and was thrilled to bits that it didn't accelerate on me but now I'm sure I made a mistake!

Here is what your recipe looks like with 3.8 ozs. of shea butter instead of 4.8

Castor Oil 3.2oz
Coconut Oil 8ozs
Olive Oil 11.2ozs.
Palm Oil 4.8ozs.
Shea Butter 3.8ozs.
Total Weight 31
For that size batch you would need 8-12 ozs. of liquid and 4.25 ozs. of lye for a 7% superfat. The way you have it now, the soap will be superfated at a little more then 5%. You should be fine.
