Making the oil day TWO

On day two of making our biodiesel we came in, got suited up, and started working right away. Our bottles had a thick layer of glycerin resting on the bottom. Glycerin is the left over gunk. Our task today was to get rid of the layer by opening the bottle and applying a little pressure at a time to squeeze it out, without letting a lot of our fuel out. That process went by pretty smooth. The only thing that went wrong for me is that right when it was my turn Ms.Rioux caught me with gum in my mouth during a lab (BIG MISTAKE) and then i had to go last. Once that was done we let our bottles sit for another night.
