The very first post says this: "Also, make sure the lye you choose is 100% sodium hydroxide and isn't drain cleaner. Which contains metal shavings and is unsuitable for soapmaking."
The lye I bought is a drain cleaner, but it does say 100% lye on the bottle. So is this ok or not?
As long as it says 100% lye, you should be fine. What brand did you buy and where did you get it from? If you have an Ace Hardware near by, they sell Rooto 100% lye for $3 a bottle. That's what I have been using.
