Trying KOH for the first time soon - any tips on what to expect?
It's 90% pure so I'll be compensating for that and scaling the quantity for 7g vs 5g litre base.
I understand KOH soaps take longer to settle out too?
Looking forward to liquid glyc and trying it on my new liquid pumped atomising burner nozzle, this thing will be like a flamethrower :)
£40 for 25kg vs £20 for NaOH it'd better be good ;)

My advice would bet to get some ASM instead :)

£40...he was only going to charge £35 at the BBB!

I guess prices vary - it's less than what Trinity are charging anyway.

Any tips on KOH soap settling anyone? How much longer than NaOH?

Only used KOH once soap hadn't dropped a week later had to filter the lot threw
j cloths only use sodium now.

Ive used koh, but not paid attention (sorry).
One thing that i was doing (before i ran out) which worked nicely, was to do s1 with cheap and brutal naoh, and then s2 with koh, resulting in clean, dry, liquid glycerol for the next batch.
When i next buy some koh, ill do the same again.

Not got quite as far as using KOH yet but I a moment of boredom thinking about burning liquid fuels did lead to this ;)
