Quite to the contrary, I've read through the BD info there twice. this does not mean that I have a full comprehension of it. > The problem is, due to the increased soap formation and > the increased solubility of glycerol, you never get > separation.

It is instead saponifying the WVO and leaving you with a mix of soap, glycerine ethanol, water and probably unreacted WVO, as well as other stuff. Show me how NaOH or KOH can be used to make Na/K Ethoxide. The work shown at JtoF only shows that ethanol is not a drop in replacement for methanol, using NaOH or KOH. ADent gave a reason for this and a suggested work around. > That's still WAY cool!

Now I type about 60wpm. Before I did well to make 35wpm. Dan -- Jack of all trades, master of none.
