Walter,
It is not clear where the 27.6 oz measurement is taken.

What we did was estimate what we were going to need in paint to cover
the rudder.  The equivalent of a cup of water was our best guess (same
cup you mix the epoxy in). With the rudder in a horizontal position
supported at the hinges, the cup was placed in the center of the rudder.
( We measured and calculated the center.)  We had to add weight to
obtain a forward balance by extending the counterbalance forward from
the original outline.  We ended up with a positive weight forward after
final paint.  Pays to be lucky.
