dgs,

Thanks for the offer of a test. Prob is, I have about 6 jerry cans full of this stuff, all with different hydrometer readings & TBH I don't think it's feasible to send you so many samples. Doubt you could be bothered to check them all anyway.

Slightly OT, on my last batch I tried a double glyc wash, using glyc I had washed with once before & then using 'virgin' glyc from the previous 2nd stage. I didn't do a 10/90 as I wasn't expecting a huge difference but got a 100% reaction on the first stage (21 litres & 1050 grms KOH into 150 litres). Water washing took 3 or 4 goes longer than normal so I must have overdosed. I'll 10/90 next time but was wondering as a new convert to the cult of double glyc washing, can twice used glyc be dried in much the same way BD is after water washing & reused or would the drying get rid of all the chemicals?

Would dried glyc & your suggestion of 10 litres wet meth & 200 grms of KOH be more or less worthwhile than not dried glyc?

Bio-hazards true identity reveled at last.

All starts to make sense now.

Just to let you know....I'm not the VOD biohazard...though I do use it as a team name for the Run2 driving tours. We are now Biohazard V1.1
