    ? mold volume

    I made a wood mold 18x2.75x3.5 and when I do the calc. it comes up 69.3 oz. equaling 4.3 lbs. but when I run it thru soap calc. as 100% olive oil it states 6.5 lbs so my question is which number will fill the mold. I have had this issue with all my molds I have made

    pine tar

    I had the pine tar in a cup to keep it warm and viscous and just poured into the batter a few stirs later it was over. now that I rebatched it, it is so easy to work with think I found a new way (for me) to do pine tar soap just an extra step is all
