Teach Soap

Does anyone have a formula to determine how much a mold can hold? I want to make new molds and resize my bars. I I've done the water thing in the past but want to calculate out everything before I make molds this time. I tried a search but it came up with a lit of unrelated hits. Sorry if this has been asked before ahead of time.

lenght x width x depth x 0.4 = amount of oils needed. I think

or you can use this lye calc and input your mold dimentions.

I have the iPhone brambleberry soap calculator. I hope in a future update they add the resizing as an option and stuff for soap molds. Thanks for the help!

Heres what I found recently, havent checked for accuracy thogh

Example: If the mold is 10" long by 3" wide and 3" tall
10 x 3 x 3 = 90
90 x .38 = 34.20
34.20 ounces of soap base oils will fill the mold to full capacity.

My soap teacher said 35 cubic inches equals 1 pound of soap. That has worked out pretty good for me.
