I mixed a few drops of
the new stuff into a big jar of scented lotion and after a few days it started to smell a bit off. I wonder if it
would help with the new stuff too?
I chucked all my diluted EW out
today and mixed up a fresh batch to play with. I had previously only used a really small amount of ethanol and the
rest was all water but this time I went for the ethanol and it was much better than just water! It really doesn´t
smell as bad when you use alc! WOW.
Unfortunately I thought it was so cool I went a bit overboard and ended up
adding a bit too much EW so it´s stinky again now [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I need to take
some off and add more ethanol and see what happens [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I don´t
know if this is of interest to those with the new EW but for the others who have the beta version, it´s really does
seem make a big difference using alc rather than just(tap) water.

...there is
something about it aging, (molecules dipersing) and perhaps it \"ages faster\" with the ethanol.

Do you mean ages slower with the ethanol?
No, aging is a good
thing, youngin\'.

doesn´t smell as bad. I do think it stays fresher with the ethanol. I mean there´s a reason most prods are diluted
with alc right? Perhaps you´re right though, but as long as the effectives doesn´t wear off who cares?

quicker.
We´ll see how this batch does [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

properly. Can you smell the cops?
OR, there might be
something in the tap water that\'s interacting?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
well yes, tap water´s tap
water it´s never sterile. Distilled water is what you want but I didn´t have any at the time

but when I first make the stuff it smells fine for a few days and then gets yucky. So
doesn\'t that make aging a bad thing in this case?
