Personally, I wouldn't waste the 'leccy heating to 90*C. Assuming the WVO is not saturated with water, the glyc is all you need. Just heat to 65*C and chuck it in.

I heat to 65 ish, settle for a while, drop the free water, and then add the glyc...

Its a nice clean oil (no whites) so will heat to only 65c leave for an hour see what drops.
