Great question. I'm glad you asked me that. I'm not an expert so I'm afraid that I will not be able to give you a good answer. However , much of my experience is with making alkalisers for water thence altering the PH of water by altering the oxidisation reduction potential or ORP of the water molecule. It occurs to me that perhaps my posting was a bit brash. However, if there were any water in the mix it would dissotiate it (probably best performed at the first melting of the wvo stage.) Also, the electrical current would increase any effect that the earths magnetic field had on the reaction (arguably time) thence may be useful at the adding of the Methanol/lye product Methoxide to the melted/heated wvo. I havn't tried it yet in as much as I haven't even worked on any of the reactions. Indeed, I am currently in the process of obtaining Methanol for my first experiments. I do possess a platinum electrode, however, which you'll need to conduct this procedure successfully.
