When you say you attemped to remove the methoxide, how did you do that?

Did you pump mix the magnesol, or Stir it gently?

I would junk that test and try it again..................
Sorry Don, but misery loves company. Anyway, it is because of your experience that I tried a small batch. Thanks for that.
I SLOW mixed the magnesol. And I used YOUR method to remove the methoxide with the BD at 100 deg.
I noticed the inside of the 5 gallon pail WAS painted and now the methanol has stripped it clean. Do you think the paint is messing it all up?
