Curry oil cock up.

Have a go doing what I do;

2/3 Na (this can be solid or ASM or a mix, depends on what type of methanol I'm using )

1/3 K

It has worked really well for me, better than using just one or the other.

If the K is dissolved in the methanol first, so the methoxide gets quite warm, then any solid Na that is added dissolves quite quickly. Any ASM is added last and mixed well.

Cheers Dave, I might try that when I get some Na.

That was kind of you to offer to help Beryl's mate many miles away.

I realised I knew Beryl locally from 2000 to 2005 on Classic car related stuff. Last time I saw him in 2005, before he moved County, he'd just fitted a Merc engine to a Sherpa and was running wvo. First time I'd seen it actually done.
So he's to blame...!

Haha, it seems as though Jim has it covered anyway.
