Optical potentials for the scattering of K± from 6Li and 12C nuclei are calculated using the Watanabe superposition model in terms of the alpha-particle and deuteron optical
potentials. The elastic and inelastic scattering differential cross-sections obtained using these potentials are compared with experimental data. Good fits are obtained without
modifying any of the parameters. Further measurements for K± scattering from 6Li are stressed.
