It holds aprox 45 oz however my batches amount to 38 oz. Thanks for the tips! I have seen people do that with the log molds but I havent seen it with the round ones yet. Ive been kicking around an idea but I'm a little stumped.

I have this vision of creating a coffee scrub soap thats round, and in the center its brown and has coffee grounds for exfoliation and the outside ring is smooth and creamy white. I thought of using an empty paper towel holder and centering it in the PVC mold so I could use it to pour in the coffee portion keeping it seperate from the rest. However Im not sure how to go about finding the volume needed to fill it up level with the outside! Is it simply a matter of however much I deduct from the main batch will incidently fit into the center tube making them both level in the end... :?: This unknown factor has kept me from actually DOING it! lol.

Why don't you make it as an embed. Fill the cardboard tubing the day before and then the next day when it is set up you can just place that soap down into your pvc mold and pour the liquid soap batter around it. I tried putting the papertowel tube in the middle of my cylinder molds and the batter thickened up so quick that when I pulled the tube out......most of the soap batter inside the tube came out as well. The soap did not turn out as planned!

Oh wow, you make a very good point! I would have never thought that would happen. it seems so much easier doing it that way too because I was wondering how flimsy it would be and how I would manage to keep it in the middle of the mold. Thanks for the tip!
