I am just getting started making BD. I have had some trouble getting all the water removed from the WVO. Is it a must to heat the oil if so how hot, how long? Will it settle out on its own if just sits if so how long do I need to let it settle? Any info will be appreciated.

Lee, I don't know where you are at in the learning process but if you have not started with virgin oil and had multiple success in small batches do yourself a favor and start there and learn the titration before you start with WVO. As far as heating it there is a whole section on getting the

I ran some WVO into which I added a measured amout of water through a slow filter filled with silica beads and it worked pretty well removing the water. I haven't yet tried heating it to see if it pops but visually it looks like it worked. -Mike Manzo, Emil wrote: Greetings. Has anyone
