Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has a rule of thumb or formula for how many pounds/oz's of soap to the dimensions of a mold?

If I'm not sure how much my mold will hold I pour water into it while it's on a scale. That gives me a good idea how much the mold will hold. I usually add on a little bit extra.

That's what I usually do - add water then weigh it. Afterwards when I do get the exact amount of soap to fit my mold I record the weight of the soap on the edge of my mold so I won't forget next time
