The double boiler water is at a rolling boil but the water for the lotion is not, it might have a few bubbles at the bottom. There is alot of steam but I figured it was from the double boiler water. We finally have a good scale, got one that is 100g by .01g and have one that is a few hundred g by 1g. The 100g weight is accurate on both. But based on the water suggestion of 60-80% for most lotions, our lotion with "77%" is so thick you can hardly get it out of the bottle, I doubt it is really 77% water when we are making it (the thickeners are like 5% ewax and 2.4% stearic, nothing too crazy)
