Re: What NOT to do...
1. Metal CAN be used, but expect it to corrode/rust pretty fast. The Methanol/Lye combo really does a wonder on metal.
2. Glass can be used, but it should be PYREX style and rated for chemicals and heat. Basically chemistry glass.
3. Any items that have come into contact with the Methanol/Lye mix should NEVER be used for human food/consumption ever again. This applies to people who use blenders and pop bottles for their test batches.
4. If using an open flame for a heat source, make SURE you are in a well ventilated area. Methanol burns CLEAR and you cannot see the flame should it catch fire. Also the fumes from Methanol/Lye arent exactly healthy.
5. General lab safety procedures should be used. Eye Protection, gloves, and some form of apron that can be quickly removed should you spill/splash the chemicals.
