Learn how to safely mix water and lye as part of the soap making process in this free video on homemade soap making.

Glycerin is a by product of soap making. So if you have nitric acid, then you add the nitric acid to the glycerin, and there you have nitroglycerin. But unless you mix the two in a certain process and VERY carefully, it will explode prematurely. Just as the discoverer of nitroglycerin killed himself long ago in his laboratory, and his brother if I’m not mistaken refined the process.
i agree with you about that lye word it was beginning to piss me off, and also thanks for enlightening people like myself by letting us know the other names of the chemical
yes NaOH is LYE. it is a hasmat class 8 corrosive and no joke. when combined with common H20 something crazy happens. crazycrazycrazy. you should also try mixing brake fluid with powered chlorine for kicks. just kidding. DO NOT.
online, as the chemical sodium hydroxide which is what lye is, there alot of websites that sell it for very cheap and since very few places still sell lye due to dea restrictions.
My god man, don’t rat on about things you know jack all about.
Something crazy happens? Its called an exothermic reaction when the NaOH comes into contact with the water. Same thing happens with conc sulfuric or nitric. Now bog off and go read some literature.
during my degree study, i’ve been dealing with the sodium hydroxide with my bare hand along with hundreds of other chemicals including EDTA… no big deal though….
Is lye the same corrosive stuff that i put down the drain here in teurope called Caustic soda? surely that stuff is so strong it will rip your skin to shreds!
Can someone tell me if that is what i need to make soap, because I already got some causic soda granules . They are very corrosive and u have to put on gloves and mind your eyes.the stuff i use for drains heats up cold water when u add it.I just need to know if its the same stuff as LYE..im confused.
Thank You
wow! it is the same stuff huh?
so why does’t soap rip your face off? or maybe it can?
Im still shocked caustic evil soda makes nice gentle soap..surely its a mistake? can someone explain? Thank you

Go shoot yourself. Or go open a chemistry book.
Rules 1 & 2.
sorry sir. lol. best movie ever.
I hate the word “Lye”. It’s “caustic soda” people. or Sodium Hydroxide.

nothing happens when you combine sodium hydroxide with water. if you add a bit of tinfoil it then a chemical reaction happens and it makes hydrogen.
i am jacks colon. i get cancer. i kill jack.

All that safety stuff is crap, do you know they put lye on pretzels. Its what makes the pretzels shine.
somebudy can say me what is the material?
Ace Hardware
They sell red devil lye

It is the same, must be 100% lye
Yep. It’s Lye aka Caustic Soda aka Drano which cleans your drains. It will seriously burn you if it touches you.
OM friggin’ G, my friend is named lyes and we translated his name on yahoo babelfish and it gave us CAUSTIC SOLUTIONS. ROFL
wow! it is the same stuff huh?
