NaOH and Liquid Not Calculating Correctly

[KNSoap]

I have it set for 33% concentration but the calculator is showing to add more NaOH than H2O! This is not accurate and could be dangerous. Something must be up with the coding or something.

I can’t see the rest of the recipe like if you have a two to one water to ratio or liquid elsewhere in the recipe. Can you give me a link to the recipe so I can look at the whole thing? Thank you.

I do see you have other liquids added after I was able to expand it on my iPad. Liquid includes water as well as the liquid you’re adding, unless you are clicking the water discount under the other liquid if that makes sense.

That 660 grams of other water (lime/nopal water) counts since you chose “add with the liquid”. It’s not dangerous at all- you have plenty of liquid to dissolve the lye without worrying about it. It’s not a bug, it’s not an issue. It’s because of the settings you chose, and it’s perfectly safe if you’re replacing some of your water with other liquid.
