Greetings, Thank you so much for this idea. I do have an electric eraser and it certainly is much quieter that the drill for small test batches. I will inform Garth he needs a new rod that is the right size for his stirrer, then I can stand being home while he plays.
Last night Garth titrated his first batch of used oil. Extremely well defined separation with one hour. Progress is happening. We have 2.5 fifty five gallon drums of used oil to use up, so I am hoping for real production soon.
