Thanks Paul,

I'll try to follow that up. 

Currently in Thailand, we wash the BD made from stearin with almost indecent 
haste.

Of course, if the skin comes from near the BD/glycerol interface, we should 
suspect 
methanol evaporating from the glycerol. So is the skin on the top of the BD or 
really on 
top of the glycerol? Others participants have already raised the matter of 
1)  whether it is BD soluble or 
2) water soluble 
3) Affected by separation time,
4) Disappears in the wash.

Are we sure we are all talking about the same skin????

Thanks again Paul ----- there is nothing like a few facts to muck up a 
perfectly good 
theory! : - )
