ohwhataday03 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have found different brands for lye in my area. (No red devil) So my question is what the best one for soap making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmejeffd Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 As long as the ingredient list says 100% Sodium Hydroxide (or NaOH) and no other additives, I don't believe there is a difference. There is food grade for making things like pretzels and there is technical grade. I have always used technical grade because it's cheaper and have never had a problem.

No real difference....buy what's the best size and cost for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
