Local Lye

[Cal43]

I got my lye locally. 18 lbs for 30.00. I really like the bottles they are in also. If I ever get a 50lb bag I can refill these bottles.

Cool, glad to help. One heads up, you must check them out online first, make your order and pick up in store. You can pay when you get there also. They are closed to the public on Thursday’s. They have castor oil, pomice, coconut etc.

Hello , it dissolve well. The only hiccup I had was when using frozen watermelon juice. At first it wasn’t dissolving, but I placed the container in very hot water and it dissolved fine. So there is always a solution to our hiccups.
