Determining amount of M&P for loaf mold?

[Piedpipurr]

I want to try a Huggies Baby Wipe container as a M&P loaf mold. How do I determine how many ounces of the base to use?

Thanks!

Fill it w/ water & then measure the water.

Hi Tabitha,

I was trying to research this myself before I originally posted here and I read that water is not as heavy as the soap base. It just didn't give an answer to my question. Have you done it with weighing with water and it turned out correct?

I appreciate your help.

It's so close you won't notice a difference. Depending on the volumn of the mold you may be off by like 1/8-1/5 of an inch. Not enough to worry about in my book.

OK, I'm gonna try it!!!

Thanks!
