Thank you
(snip) I will cross reference your methoxide mix with my numbers as I have undertaken the same experiments comparing different processes (batch, two stage, acid base). However, from my experiences, my biod is cloudy after 1 hour of stiring but will settle out rather well over night (12+ hours). Furthermore, after seperation I let it settle another day (I get some more glyc on the bottom of the glass flask). By this time its quite clear. My two batches have been settling to several days with no appreciable change in clarity. Some more details. The Methanol I used is technical grade and is labeled at 99.5%. The KOH is lab grade is supposed to be 99% or better. The KOH has been open to the air only a very little bit and seems to be still flaky and dry with no clumps. I going to try washing it with the dr pepper method to see what happens. Would you mind sharing your test batch process with me/us? Are you using NaOH or KOH? New oil? What numbers?
