My first bottle of lye was Red Crown, and when I tried to replace it, I couldn't find it so I purchased Belle Chemical. I've found the BC to get much more airborne when I measure it out, so I would like to find something else (I do wear a mask, but not a serious filtering one.)
I've found there are beads and flakes in addition to plain old granules. Flakes worry me because of potential static electricity--I live in a very low humidity climate, and beads seem to be a bit pricy when shipping is added. But I don't want to breathe in Lye.
What is the safest to use?
Second, I found what looks like a reasonable price, and great shipping, from Lehman's Sodium Hydroxide for Soapmaking
Anyone use them for their lye source?
TIA.
