I got a deal (well I think I did) on 50 lb bag of lye from my local chem. guy would it be ok to split it up into canning jars or should it be the plastic jars?
No metal, no glass, and be careful with the type of plastic. NaOH will etch glass making it more prone to break, it will corrode metal, and it can make some plastics brittle. High density polyethylene (HDPE) is best. You need the container to seal well enough to keep out water vapor (humidity).
