I thought the question was how long the BD or WVO should be allowed to sit around!
I think purchasing the materials, especially methanol, since it's harder to mail order, could be a little tricky for a minor. I personally wouldn't recommend mixing the methoxide to anyone who was not an adult, but I could see allowing a teenager to perform the Dr. Pepper version in a chem lab, if well supervised and only the instructor handled the methoxide.
Seems like purchasing federally regulated chemicals would be prohibited for minors, but so are lots of other things that teens purchase for less useful purposes ;)
