Both Rooster and I talked today and found we were both paying too much for our chemicals. Here is what we found

I paid about $27.00 for 50.12lb of lye Brothers chemicals in phoenix
Rooster pd about 60 somethin
I paid over $8/gallon for methanol for 5 gal or 3.16 for 54 gal +10 barrel core
Rooster pd $2.67 a gall no core at Western Petroleum in phoenix

Also Westerm has commercial biod for sale at $2.84/gal

I can purchase 55 gal of methanol from a family member wholesale for $2.10 a gallon. Prob is that I have to travel to get, but im there at least once a month.
