Teach Soap

For Melt and Pour bases how much can you add to them?
For example for 500g would you add 1ml, so for 1kg would you add 2ml.

I'm very confused and have seen people work it out as a % and that goes right over my head (I'm terrible at maths) lol.

Thanks for anyone who can answer

I'm terrible at math too! And I just can't figure out all the percentage stuff.

So...I found a website where you can choose the method/type of soap making (MP or CP or Lotions, etc), then you enter your weights and whether you are measuring in g., oz, or lbs. Then you choose your FO or EO that you want to use and hit calculate! And it gives you the right measurement! Easy.

The site is http://www.thesage.com/calcs/fragcalc.html
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much that helps loads, I really get confused with figures lol. I'll probably still run my ingredients through the forum before I make my soap though, still don't trust myself completely till I get the hang of it. Thanks again its great

Your welcome! I'm also really new at this. In fact, I just made my first batch yesterday.
Happy soap making!
