Hello. I'm a newbie, so go easy. We gathered our materials (WVO, Red Devil, methanol, old blender, fish tank heater, measuring gear, etc.) and have mixed several test batches, but it doesn't look right.
One liter WVO, 200 ml CH3OH, and varied the amount of lye (3.0 g, 4.0 g, 4.5 g, 5.5 g). Mixed lye into CH3OH for 5 minutes, while WVO preheated to ~110F, then added and ran heater/mixer at ~120F for 1 hour. Poured into clear plastic jugs and allowed to settle overnight. The batches range from 10% to 5% to none, of clear golden oil on top of light brown jellied glob (90% to 99%)in the bottom. Some have white crusty island on top of the glob. Where do we go from here? I was thinking next test batch I'd try way more lye... say 8.0 g. Thanks, Bill ------------------------ Yahoo!
