I've had a question about the two-stage, base-base method as well. My second stage resulted in such a little amount of glycerin it didn't seem worth the extra time or effort. Any comments? I suppose the removal of this last tablespoon of glycerin gets my BD to ASTM standards for free glycerin, but it seems alot of work for a little result, when I'm only using the stuff myself.
