Question glycerine not setting up
From my test batch I had a 21% glycerine dropout after setting for 4 days w/ bio on top. Glycerine is still liquid. Would I expect the glycerine to harden or does it remain in it's initial state when it dropped?

Re: glycerine not setting up
I use Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and it hardens. Potassium Hydroxide (KaOH), I believe, stays liquid when it cools.

Correct, KOH stays a liquid.

Re: glycerine not setting up
NaOH and new oil will produce a bi-product that will also stay liquid.
