diamondk Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Where does everyone order their lye from? I have found a couple of places through my search here? I thought we had a thread at one time about places we could order from. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I get mine in bulk but I thought I saw that someone said you can get it at Bitter Creek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Bitter Creek is expensive so I thought I would try and check around for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Those prices at Alabaster are VERY good.Unless you have a local bulk source, it is probably the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapmaker Man Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I bought 3---50 pound bags this past late summer and am storing them in my soap shop in 5 gallon HDPE buckets with the seal locking lids. I store then off the concrete floor on 2"X4's under a contractor grade plastic trash can liner over each bucket tied up with a HD twist tie. I paid .50 cents per pound for the sodium hydroxide in the bulk. I found mine at a chemical pool supply place. Some older pools used the sodium hydroxide in their filtration system, somehow. Down here in FL there are a lot of chemical suppliers that sell stuff like this. The business was supplying at least 5 or 6 of us Soapiers here in Cent. FL, but I hear sold out a month ago or so I hear. I'm glad I bought this much at once!Another online supplier is Camden-Grey in Miami, or The Chemistry Store in the Carolinas. They sell 2 pound plastic jars of it, and perhaps more. Anything I think over 32 ounces, you have to pay a Haz-Mat fee to ship it to you.HTH!Paul....

Grumpy Girl Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I get mine at alabastard, or if I'm not in the mood to drive 1.5 hours, I get it locally at a janitorial supply. http://www.aaa-chemicals.com/sodium-hydroxide.html has a decent price on 10lbs of food grade lye. I got my KOH from them. Nice guy, fast shipping. I like.DON'T order lye from the summerbee meadow dude, he's a nutcase. Straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
