It must be a local thing. In our little town in southern Illinois, population 3000, we have two hardware stores that sell lye over the counter, in a nearby larger town, TSC and Lowes both have it on the shelves.

I found some reasonably priced on fleabay. Bulk repackaged that needs to be resealed when you get it. If you do a search there are a couple of sellers there for about $3 US per pound.
Do any of yall use the essential depot silicone mold. In the basket, they are on sale for 25 dollars so I bought 2. They look pretty easy and no lining is a plus right.
I also went ahead and got a bud cutter. Yay I'm getting all my shopping done while working now I think I'm set lol. I'm sure I'll NEED something else though

I have one and it's great. Sometimes with the silicone I get blisters on the edges of the soap (when gelling) but it's nothing a bit of planing won't fix. Super easy to clean and makes a bar with nice corners.

That's interesting. I think I went to every farm supply store and hardware store in Anna one day looking for it and nobody had it. Ended up ordering it. Haven't checked anyplace in the 'dale like Rural King, but my hopes wouldn't be high if I did.
