Water weighs more than your soap base. I know that sounds wrong but it's the truth. It has to do with density. So while in theory, filling your mold with water would work to know how much base you need to fill them up, you would end up short by about an oz or two at least depending on the type of soap base you're using and any additives present like your clay, oatmeal etc. That's why if you buy from BB, they state that their FOs and other ingredients are sold by weight versus volume and you'll notice that some FOs are full almost to the brim while others are only 3/4 full. I know, confusing but that's how it works.

*whispering* I'm supposed to be quiet now, Peggi. There's a fallacy somewhere in my advice and experiences. But thank you for the vote of confidence. :roll:

can someone get Armi out of that corner?? It's hard to hear her whisper!! But I know what you mean about that fallacy thing-some things I thought were right when I post are later proved wrong, then I get all embarrassed :oops:

but I'm glad everyone gets along so well here.
