Did you mix the methanol and lye together first?

You will also need to do a titration of the WVO, the Dr. Pepper method only really works with new oil.

The titration will determine how much extra lye you will need to add to account for extra acids that are present in the WVO.

If you did the "Dr Pepper" it's 1 teaspoon of lye not tablespoon.
