I've been thinking over some things in my head, mostly theorizing since I have yet to actually find a source of methanol in my local area that isn't being a pain and continuously asking to see my Hazmat permit...

Do I actually need one? I'm only asking for a gallon, or less, of the stuff?

Anyway, on to the theorizing.

How do you all mix your methoxide into your oil? Pour it in slowly, or let it drip into the oil from a bin?

I was wondering if maybe it would mix better if you introduced it at the mixer pump. Oil goes through the pump, and comes out the other side with just a little methoxide added into it. This gets churned into the batch-at-large, and then as it gets worked to the bottom it goes back through the pump again, getting a little more methoxide added, and so on until all of it's added.

Just thinking perhaps it's a more direct method of introducing it, maintaining an even distribution and a slow but thorough mix of the chemicals into the oil.

Any thoughts?
