was it fresh oil or fryer oil? is your methanol TOTALLY dry? how carefully was your titration measured? i smell water in the mix... theres really no such thing as "blowing it"- just a simple slip of the hand or a little bit of missed timing- the insignificant little quirks of life that add up at

Now that the mixture has completely settled, I have 4 layers. The top is now clear methanol, the middle and largest layer is a clear, bright amber color (I assume this is methyl esters) the bottom two layers all small layers, one appears to be emulsion (yellow, gummy looking) and the very bottom

well, i dont expect that any politician would change any existing policies. that is why if someone were to run for office without the politics, i.e., focus on what you are about, and admit anything the opposition might try to use against you - thus stealing their thunder - and just go to the bus

The sulfur used is trade name "sulfer lard" I am thinking that the mineral oil is the carrier. the cutting oil is by composition - sulfur (unknown if it is elemental or organic compound), mineral oil and an additive to supply a high lubricity.   Jim - Original Message - From: b

of equal importance is the form of the sulfur. Is it elemental ie, just sulfur atoms all by themselves, or is the sulfur present as an organosulfur compound. or even present as a metal sulfide salt? JAMES PHELPS wrote: > Bob, Andrew, > > I will investigate the percentage of sulfer in cutting

My dentist says that the average age of death for dentists in Missouri is 52. He attributes this to all the mercury they're exposed to in the amalgams they use. If you read about the history of mercury in amalgams, it was despised by dental associations in the 1800's. They knew then that mercury
