Is that from one of the US sites, Chug?

Maybe Nigel or others who have soap test capabilities can verify or refute this info I found on infopop.

I've got one of Nige's soap test kits.  Was that meant to be a link to infopop?  If so it's not working, can you repost pleas?

will try and re process tomorrow, 18% meth and 5gr Kohl.
Am not sure if 18% meth is to much?
Did batch using 18% meth and 5gr per litre and got a instant clear 3/27 pass.
5% pre wash left to settle overnight, drained off glyc then demethed and spray bar overnight.
Next a gentle bubble wash.
I had a creamy layer between water and oil that i drained off (Hmpes?) three more washes then dried.
Did a 50/50 test after 12 hours of settling and have a very thin line of white between water and bio and very little cloudiness in the water.
I think it will be ok to use in a few days time, thank you to everyone for there help.
