Stewart,
I would be very interested to hear how the olive oil worked. I have been tempted by it but not yet given it a go. Did you use cheap olive oil or the virgin olive oil ? You mentioned altering the quantity of the ingredients when modifying the olive oil. are you thinking that more glycerine is better ?

Like you I also thought that the modified veggie oil was slightly thicker than before it was modified.

My friend, the one who used the modified oil mix quite some time ago is now back out of hospital and online sooner than I expected. I am off to email him and see what further info I can get.
