kidsngarden Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I buy both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide at a chemical supply place an hour away. I buy 50 pound bags though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbren Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I get mine from Boyer...but I would say any of the above suppliers who ship in safe containers that the lye can also be stored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 coloradoorganics.netThey do have a limit on how much lye they will ship, tho. I just pick up from them because they are local. Even tho I don't make soap.... yet - LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My local Lowes has the Roebic brand, but I don't remember if it's the one you want or if it's NOH. So check all the hardware stores near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Lowes carries sodium hydroxide. If you are still looking for some PM me and I can sell you a pound or two of mine.Not all Lowes carries it so you need to check. The Lowes in my area does not due to the meth problem. They quit selling it a few years ago. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsngarden Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Great Laura!For those who may be following this thread who may not know ... the "lye" at lowes is Sodium Hydroxide (for making cold process bar soap) and it should say "roebic crystal drain Cleaner" and be Granular. It is not Potassium hydroxide that is used for liquid soap making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
