Stuck in the Pipe

[cwarren]

So I have a Pringles can -- 2.75" diameter by 8" long. If d=2.75 then r=1.375.

(3.14)(1.375)(1.375) = 5.93 square inches

(5.93)(8.0) = 47.49 cubic inches

(47.49)(0.40) = 19 oz (rounded up)

So I could put a total of 19 ounces of oil and water into this Pringles can, assuming I filled it to the brim, correct?

that should be correct - but you need to leave a little space - so you can push it out.

oh don't get me started on Nancy Today. She scares and horrifies me. Watch the video of her talking about worm eggs from her cat's butt - on the arm of her sofa, or read her blog (if it's still there) about how she put a shoe over her cat's head to calm it and then castrated it herself. watch her fling lye around like it's an innocuous liquid.

i'll pass/

I agree. She's a disaster waiting to happen.

I just think shes funny.. I have only watched soap making with her... she makes me laugh

Round == 3.14 X ( Radius squared ) X ( height ) X .40 Example ((( 3 inch X 9 inch PVC ))) = 3.14 x ( 1.5 x 1.5 ) x 9 x .40 = 25.4 Radius is half of diameter

And this equals to ???? how much total water and oils????

that should be the weight of oils, in ounces.

To determine the approximate batch size (weight of oils), you mulitply the volume of the mold by 0.4.

So in the above example, the calculation was for the volume of the pipe (area of the circle = pi X r(squared) times the height of the pipe). then multiplied by 0.40

Carebear, please refer to your quote. Can't cure stupid.......I am NOT math savy and "pi X" is a foreign language to me. lol
I just need exact measurements for oils and water.

Well, I am pleased to report that the soap stuck in the pipe is a success. I took the pipes out of the freezer and used a hair dryer on them. I used the hottest setting. It took very little time using heat when the 2ft long soap log slipped right out. Needless to say I was ecstatic. I now am the proud owner of ten lbs of cinnamon soap!

My dear husband made me a jig to cut the soap with. It worked so nice, it assisted me in cutting nice even 1" slices. Can't wait for the 6wks to pass so I can get the bars ready for the Christmas Bazzar.

This was only my second batch of cold process soap making. I am so hooked! Evoo, h20, lye, scent & texture.

Thank you for all your ideas and experiences.
