Apologies if this has been covered but a search
didn't throw it up for me -
I purchased a small (and cheap) aquarium aerator and
smallish stone to play around with bubble washing
I made up a 2l batch - wvo 400mls Methanol and 14gm of NaOH
( I did a titration tonight and it looks like I need 5+3gm/litre
-ie a bit underdone on the NaOH)
The glycerine was fairly solid when I decanted off after
24hrs
Now the bubble wash - added 400mls of water and set it going
- virtually instant emulsification - looked like
"Lanes Emulsion" (shows my age!)
-it has slightly settled today but really only minimally.
I felt on starting up the aerator it was too violent after
reading all the advice here on being very gently initially
when washing
Has anyone had any joy bubble washing small batches
or am I off up a dry creek trying it out
Incidentally (Joe) I did a 2l batch so I could use 1l for
a trial reprocess
thanks for any advice
