The nurdrage way of making sodium is a bit too long for my liking. So I was wondering if the method for making potassium, which is done in only 3
hours, would work for sodium. Basically, if a flask were set up with equal amounts of both KOH and NaOH and then run. Would any potassium formed
immediately react with the NaOH to give Na and KOH?

I don't think this can be answered except by experiment. You may also produce NaK, which is pyrophoric, so caveat lector!

Oh shit, didn’t think of NaK. Might want to use an excess of NaOH then
