Janis Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Now that red devil is out of the pure lye business, where are you getting your lye? I'd love to find a west coast supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 How's they're pricing Cindym? I'd be interested in a 50lb pail versus a bag any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks to both of you. Sarah's is closer to me and I love the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks to both of you. Sarah's is closer to me and I love the prices. Your welcome Janis. :smiley2: She does have some great pricing on lye- for mail order.And these current prices are higher than they used to be.I have to find lye locally- then its like 1.00 per lb. Which is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm thinking about driving an hour to Starville in Tyler TX for 50lbs of lye... it's about $1.55 a pound with no shipping or hazmat charges if I do it... I bet I could find it cheaper though... I just might have to drive a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Now that red devil is out of the pure lye business, where are you getting your lye? I'd love to find a west coast supplier.Where are you on the west coast? I am too. If you are in CA I tell you a few places to get lye for great prices. I paid $37 for 50lb from a chemical company called Gallade. You can't beat .05 an ounce. It seems to smell less than Red Devil too after it is mixed. I'm glad I found the new stuff.

It has to be picked up though, they won't ship it. You know you could always come visit us locals for lunch one day, and pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Ooh, sounds like a nice drive! There is a great Cheesecake Factory restaurant over by North Park Mall... we could all meet and have lunch over there. I remember their Long Island Tea's are wonderful. That's a really good price on the lye. Cheapest I've seen so far this close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 If you couldn't make it out before they close and I know you are coming, I could always pick it up for you, I don't need anything right now, but the 100 and something new FO's they just added yesterday are calling my name, LOL! You'd want to come though when they are open, they have a pretty nice little showroom. Maybe Sherie could come to, depending on her schedule.

cindym Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I find Boyer's pricing very good. I buy 40 lbs at a time, it comes in 10 lb bags in cardboard, very easy to handle, and their pricing is good IMO, you have to call them, send them a check and then they send you the lye, they are very nice.

Jcandleattic Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I get mine at a local chemical supply company and pay $5.00 for a 10# pail. That much lasts me quite a long time, so it's worth it to get it in the smaller qty's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check them out, too. It's amazing to me how the price varies from supplier to supplier. I wish I could find a local place that I could just pick up from.

I read on another board that's what they use as well. Seems like its easier and cheaper to get at Lowes then ordering online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
