Castor Oil Soap
Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 5% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
Pure castor oil soap for Turkey red dyeing. Made to try to be as neutral as possible without excess alkali or oil (the -3% superfat tries to take into account the impurity of the lye that is being used). Note that pure castor oil traces very quickly, so immersion blender should not be used!
