Hello,

I can't seem to get lye completely dissolved in the methanol.

3.5g 98.5% NaOH, or 4.5 g NaOH, in 200ml 99.9% methanol - mixing, 
stirring, letting sit, waiting, magnetic stirring, days and days' 
waiting, tilting - regardless.

There is always a thin white sediment that quickly settles on the 
bottom of the jar, the liquid is always milky.

Is this normal?  Is the solution super-saturated?

Pierre
