LyeSoap
Member
In order to get started with my soap making I had to purchase lye in bulk. I have it sitting in its original container within a rubber-maid bin. Everything is properly labeled and tucked away. I have explained the hazards learned from the msds to everyone in the house and they know the procedures to take should anything go wrong.
What precautions do you take other then the ones I have listed when storing a big pail of the stuff in your house? From what I have read most people do not use a full rubber suit with face shield to handle the material so what precautions do you take while measuring, mixing with water and creating cold process soap? Will the large pail go bad if too much moisture from the air gets at it?
The reason I am asking is I spent the last two days in training for high voltage electrical work, and the suit you have to wear for that is pretty intense. Before I go pick up the equipment for handling listed on the msds, I wanted to see what everyone else has, and uses.
