Red Devil comes in 18 oz containers and I think $4 a pound is quite expensive for lye. I am sssssssssssoooooooooo glad I'm in Michigan and have my lye delivered right to my door with no shipping cost Paula .......... in Michigan Diane, Red Devil cost $4.00 for 32 ozs , right ? Ordering 40 pounds from Boyer with the shipping to Texas cost a flat $80. So divide that and it cost $2.00 per pound. That is the exact cost of Red Devil if it cost $4.00 for a can. Shipping to Ky might be cheaper then the shipping to Texas. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Sally, Nope, the cost for Red Devil here is $4.00 for 18 ounces. It is very costly.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Read the ingredients on the label. It should say 100% sodium hydroxide Paula .......... in Michigan I'm in Lanett, AL. I'm thinking I found this at Walmart, but can't remember for certain. I was leary of buying it because everyone said to watch out for those that contained additives. This one worked fine. Well - let's just say that whay needed improving was the " operator " (me), not the lye! Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 If I got lost everytime I went to a supplier, I'd try to find it somewhere else that I could easily get to especialy now that gas prices are so high. And if you are willing to drive an hour to find me and give me some of your money, the least I can do is make myself easy to find and it gives me an excuse to get out of the house for a bit. On the 3rd Wed of every month some of us soapers get together for lunch and to talk soap. The reason we chose to meet at Cabela's in Dundee, MI is that it's right along the expressway (US-23) and when you get off the e-way, you only have to make 2 turns and you're there. If anyone is going to be in or near south-east Michigan or north-west Ohio, please come and join us ! We're just a little south of Ann Arbor, Michigan and about 10-12 miles north of the Ohio line, not far from Toledo, Ohio. If you're closer to Detroit, I-94 would bring you to Ann Arbor and I-275 passes thru or near Livonia and connects to I-94 . Our house is 6 or 7 miles west of I-75, about 10 miles east of US-23 and about 15 miles south of I-275 so I'm real close to all 3. Since I was born & raised here in Monroe, I know most of the back roads in between and that's a real blessing when you're trying to avoid road construction ! And we can alwasy tell when there's a bad wreck on one of the e-ways when traffic suddenly jumps, especially semi truck traffic and depending on what direction they are coming from, we can figure out where the wreck is.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Both sets of my grand parents had farms, as did one grandmother's brother, and 3 of my uncles had or still have farms and 3 cousins also have farms now. When I was little and at my grandparents, if they couldn't find me, everyone knew right where I'd be - with what ever baby animals they had. Learned to drive a grain truck and tractor years before I was old enough to have a driver's license. There's a guy down the road from us that has a small plane and the run way is along the edge of one of his fields. Never thought I'd be able to recognize what small plane was flying over by the engine sound but everytime he flies over, I can tell it's him. We aren't far from the county airport and there are always lots of small planes over head. This airport is barely big enough to handle private jets so most of their traffic is small planes.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hi Paula, We didn't have a farm but we did have the gardens for all the fresh veggies and lots of fruit tress. Hardly bought much food from the grocery stores. Only things like bread and ice cream , stuff like that. My father bred and raised champion cutting horses and cattle. He was also a land developer amongst other things. I love the country life ! I also like knowing exactly where my food comes from and what is on it or in it. Our best time on the ranch was during the foaling season. Every morning before school during March and April it was my job to check the mare pasture to see who had foaled during the night or who was close to throwing her foal. It was like Christmas everyday. And the surprise was in seeing what coloring and markings each baby had. Oh and if it was a filly or a horse colt. lol I favored fillies. Sally Opening next week !!!!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I don't know about where you live, but I buy my lye from a chemical company in Charlotte, NC,,,I get 55 pounds for less than 30.00... Check around and see if that is available to you in your area. I pay .45 a pound for my lye and also i pay .55 a pound for the potassium hydroxide as well.. and it also comes in a 55 pound bag and seems like i paid .35 a pound for citric acid which comes in a 50 pound bag... all this comes from the same company! I can't find it any cheaper than that anywhere!!! it would be a start, all i had to do was show my licenses for the state of SC to show that I used it for soaping and I have no problems just calling and telling them i want a 55 pound bag of whatever! hope this helps some of you that can't get it except in stores where you live!!!! Have a blessed day!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 that's less than what I pay but I don't have to pay shipping/delivery adn it's delivered right to my door.
