I've been calling chemical supply houses most of the afternoon to little avail. Once I say that I am an "end user" making soap they no longer want to sell to me. Perhaps they think I want to make the empire state building into my very own meth lab? I mean Jersey is chemical central... and they're not sellin'.
I did find one company that *might* be able to sell to me and it breaks down to $1.48/lb if I buy 55lbs.
So my question is, price wise what has been your best deal? I recall seeing that some lucky soul gets lye for $.30/lb! and another for $.60/lb...
I am also wondering what professions use caustic soda that I might be able to barter/buy from them. I know that some janitorial suppliers, roof washers and food manufacturing places use sodium hydroxide, know of anyone else?
Thank you!
