Talk:Do-It-Yourself/Soap

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

This is a "chemistry-set" description of how to make soap; would a more user-friendly (and less intimidating) set of directions be useful? (That is, a process that might be followed by a home soapmaker, who wouldn't understand what 6N sodium hydroxide is?) I also wonder what purpose the ethanol serves? Ethanol is used in making clear soaps, but most home soapmakers never use it, and it makes the process significantly more dangerous.

I would use the convert template for unit conversions--Mac (talk) 10:15, 29 May 2008 (UTC).
