Question:
I am making a mold for my decoy anchors. I need 10 - 12 lead ounce weights. How would I determine the liquid measurement for that weight? For example if I melted down 10 ounces of lead how many cups would that be or quarter cups etc?

I would like the formula if I could and good instructions on how to use the formula.

tks
very respectfully,
Jeff

I looked up the specific gravity of lead and some conversion factors, and this is what I got.

11340 ^kg/_cu m  0.0002366 ^cu m/_cup  ¹/_0.02835 ^oz/_kg  ¹/₈ ^cups/_fluid oz

= 11.82 ^ounces/_{fluid ounce}
