Some users have asked what’s the best way to handle sponges embedded in soap… You can simply treat them as ‘packaging’ items, but this will give an incorrect value for the recipe weight and volume. Perhaps a better alternative would be to treat them as additives. In this case you would have to do some experiments: • Weigh a typical piece of the sponge (e.g. a 10 inch piece) and make a note of the weight per inch (or cm). • Determine it’s specific gravity (See the Help topic ‘Measuring Specific Gravity of solids’ in the Reference section) Now create a new additive called ‘Loofah’ and enter the specific gravity you just measured. In the Notes section of MySupplies, enter a note to say what the weight per inch (or cm) is. Or better still, make a little table showing the weight of the various lengths you use in recipes. When you purchase Loofah, either calculate the weight using the notes in MySupplies, or just weigh the piece you purchased and record the quantity in ounces (or grams). B
