I'm just about ready to try making soap, and I called around looking for lye not one place that has it :evil: . I looked around online and found only 2 places that sell it, just wanting to know if there are more sites in if so who has the best prices?

The forum host, Brambleberry has it-----http://www.brambleberry.com/supplies.aspx#LYE2

I would recommend that you buy it from a soap making supplier. The quality can vary when purchasing it from a home supply or hardware type store. You want clean 100% sodium hydroxide--- no other additives.

For small amounts, I would go with BrambleBerry too.

Oh, Lye.

You can't live without it.

I bought my first bottle from BrambleBerry. For 2lbs it's quite a lot! I've made about 6 small batches with that. HA! Today was my sixth batch! I somehow managed a 16oz soap recipe with the remaining flakes of lye.

Looking forward to what 8% superfat feels like!

DRANO is not pure lye - it has other additives. Do not use it for soap.
