Better to be over-cautious than under-cautious. I know what you're saying Mike, but I don't agree. Maybe you wouldn't either if you saw all the emails I've had from people shying away from brewing biodiesel because of all those dreadful chemicals. Maybe if the playing field was level, without

Hi Keith, You're probably right. I just have the fear that someone will kill/blind/maim themselves making BD and it'll be seized on by the forces of darkness. If training were available, or we could setp an serious non-profit (that is NOT the National Biodiesel Board) and do training, like

We're veering between incaution and overcaution. There've been some other messages pooh-poohing safety in general. I'd agree too much safety is dangerous, but so is too little. What's required is *due* caution, which needs good information. Here it is:

Better to be over-cautious than under-cautious. I wish we could set up a training series and teach interested parties how to brew safely. I dread the thought than someone will make an avoidable error and taint the home-brewing scenario. If I wrote a quick safety punchlist would the greybeards

Hi Keith and All ; I had a bug infestation eating new leaves on some trees I was growing. The only thing I had handy was some 85% methanol. I used a hand pump spray bottle and sprayed it on, and the plants loved it, the bugs all died and haven't come back yet. Best Regards, Peter G. Thailand

Just a thoght bu would it be possible to use methane or propane or buthane instead of methanol? One would have to have some methanol for the methroxide but still... that would save a lot of money. Has anynone experimented? Any good reason why I shouldn't?
