I've recently had a problem with the caustic soda I've purchased from Boots and Robert Dyas. When I mix it with water, it turns cloudy but doesn't clear. There is also a gritty residue on the bottom of the container. They are both labelled as 98percent sodium hydroxide.
I haven't used them to soap with because of concerns about this odd reaction. Am I doing the right thing?
I have bought the same product in the past from both shops and they didn't react like this. To say I'm devastated is an understatement. I have nothing to make soap with and the worst soap withdrawal ever!!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any other ideas about where to buy some more?
