Ken, I wonder how things would go with titrations between 2-3 ml NaOH? That seem to be somewhat average WVO that I am collecting. I sure do need to get over to MAX's to get some of that stuff your collecting ...... ;-)
This is a great thread and I am glad your doing the experiments to figure out what is the limit for Eth processing. And for everyone out there, I have been over to Ken's for processing and the setup is EXTREEMELY ludite and Ken is getting good results with a 5:1 Eth:Meth ratio for titrations under 2 ml NaOH. So, it is possible to be as Eco as possible using just a small amount of Meth. Good work Ken!!! James Slayden BTW, did you ever get another drum of that Parallel Products Eth? I know you and Dave Shaw were in contact so I wanted to see if it finally got off the ground.
