All the online recipe calculators I've seen calculate a recipe to the 0.01 decimal place. However I haven't seen any scales that weigh to the 0.01 decimal place; my scale calculates to the 0.05 decimal place.
So, how has everyone else worked this out, just round up to the nearest 0.05? This is what I've been doing and was just wondering it it was good enough.
I did find one scale online that will weight to 0.01 but is only good to 4 ounces. Only good for measuring Eo's or Fo's it seem to me.
Thanks in advance.

For cold process soap I round up for oils and round down for lye. Any scale that will be accurate to 0.01 ozs. will not go up to 10 lbs. or more. For more accuracy you can convert the ozs. to grams. I have a scale that's accurate to 0.001 oz. and that one will weight a couple of ozs. at most. Then I have my soapmaking scale and that one will go down to 1 gram.
