Hey /diy/
So I am making soap but i realize i don't have a scale to do measurements. I do however know I have 2 cups of pork fat, so how much lye/water do I need?

"I know" = yep

"I do know" = ok, go on

"I do however know" = ok now. tell me more

No, honest to god. And I am unsure of the fat/lye ratio.

2cups of lard is 16 ounces or 410g of oil.

You'll need 5.5oz of water and 57.8g of lye.

Save yourself the chemical burns to your skin (which could happen when you measure wrong) and buy yourself a scale.

So do lye burns leave a cool scar like in Fight Club, or just a painful sting?

No not correct. For the love of god get a scale and look up the proper ratio if you mess it up best case scenario you ruin your soap. Fun fact tou soap mixture can "explode" getting burning hot fat and lye on your exposed body parts if you use to much lye and the mix heats up to fast.
