We poured off the top of the WVO/WMO mix thru a sheet, then heated that stuff to a little over 200*F and poured that thru denim (arguably ~5-10 microns).

Waiting for pics/vids to upload now. I was surprised there was no 'gooey stuff' on the bottom of the original mix. The black 'stuff' looks just like what I'd expect on the bottom of WMO. It did have a thicker layer on the bottom, but it all poured out pretty easily. At +200*F there was some 'crackle' present and some bubbles in the convection currents. When pouring thru the denim, the flow was much slower than I would have expected at ~170*. Not sure if that observation was relevant (nothing to gauge the flow with).

It will be interesting to see if heating the blend causes the WVO to polymerize at a faster rate. How long should we let this sit? What should we do next?
