Thanks for the good advice. This mornig at room temp the jar I have the sample in I notice now has the emulsion layer very much reduced to almost nil & I think given a little more time it will deminish altogether. I went onto the USA site & saw a guy called antifuel 1' letter in that forum & he seems to have a method whereby he uses sulphuric acid in the first stage. It seems he does this to reduce the soap content. I feel although my titration at 7 does not seem to show my various oil collections are too bad but I'm wondering if I try the acid method it may help the end product. He does not state if he uses KOH (as I do) however & it seems he clears his product to completion by settling and then filtering but not by washing. I hope he's going to send me some useful instructions soon. Thanks so much. best regards
