You can buy it online or go to Lowes.

Yep! That's what I've been using and it's worked out great! Been using it for about 5-6 months now, ever since I bought up the last cans of Red Devil around here.

I hope that they continue to sell it for a long time, I hate the hassle of buying Lye online.

Thanks for that info. I order online and am waiting for it to be delivered and it won't be here until Monday:cry2:

Thanks Amy good info.

Just back from Lowe's with my Lye....Thanks so much for that info:yay:

I've been to both of the Lowe's local to me and neither one of them are carrying in and according to the manager of one of them, they have no intentions of doing so.

I am glad for those of you that found replacements for the red devil lye in your local area.

I get it in bulk, but just for grins I checked my local Lowe's. Not a drop of the stuff here either, Rebecca. It's just PEACHY living in the meth production capital of the U.S.

My lowe's had tons of it. The containers even had thick dust on them so they had been sitting there for quite some time. I found lye but no mylar. Guess we can't have it all.

Thanks for the info, Amy. DH is running errands around town and I just messaged him with the info to check any and every Lowe's he comes across. Keeping my fingers crossed cause I'm down to my last few containers of Red Devil.

Being new to all this, lye was the hardest item for me to acquire.

I didnt want to order online, but after searching locally for almost a week, Id given up hope.

As it turned out, I needed to stop by Ace hardware to pickup a new extension cord. Low and behold they stock 100% lye crystal in the plumbing area.

Hope that everyone else can find lye locally as well .... ordering online is such a pain.

One of my 2 local lowes carries the roebic lye, one in a new area one in a not so great area.

I also happened in walmart today and saw the drano crystals, says 100% sodium hydroxide but of course the can is sealed shut so I can't check for metal shavings. Has anyone else checked this stuff out?

It's 5 and change for 17 ozs, a little more expensive but I'm almost never in lowes and really don't want to go just to buy lye.

It looks like from the Lowes site you can order this and pick it up at your local store.

Found out that both the Lowes in our area carry the Roebic 100% lye. I'm so happy!!!

It's good to have a place that sells lye locally, but isn't it something like over two bucks a pound? That's sorta expensive!

edited to add...I spoke too soon...just got my lye shipped in today and it's 2.32 per pound
