Mixing only 1.5 times water to lye helps soap batter go to trace quicker. This is especially useful if you are mixing by hand and are using soft oils. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:2 ratio means for every 1 part lye, we put twice as much water. For example, 1 kilo lye is mixed with 2 kilos water. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 1:2 ratio has twice as much water compared to lye content.
