What water to lye ratio did you use?

By weight I used 110g lye and 312g water.

I used the cold process so they still have a few weeks to cure.

That's just a tad more water than I would have personally used, but still perfectly fine. They will harden as they cure. I would definitely give them at least 6 wks. And they need to be in a very low humidity place if possible.

What ratios do you use?

I had 850g of the tallow for the lye solution to mix into. And do you use pure tallow or an oil blend?

For the slab mold I currently use, I use 3500 g of Tallow, 712g water, and 474g lye. And, no, just pure Tallow.
