Don and list, Visit you local hardware store and ask for drain opener. When they take you to that section look them over and find one that is pure sodium hydroxide crystals, no additives/color/detergents/scents/etc.. That is what you want to purchase. Sorry I cannot help you with any name brands, but there are still several retailers of pure sodium hydroxide.
As a warning, you'll want to wear gloves, eye protection, and clothes you don't mind ruining whenever you handle sodium hydroxide. Keep it off your skin, and always add it to the water, not the other way around (help avoid spilling/splashing). It's also a good idea to keep an acid around (i.e. lemon juice) to quickly neutralize any spills. ~Michael Mulgrew On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 1:52 PM, Don Giovanni <grig...@operamail.com> wrote: > > Steve Schoner: > >> (Red Devil Lye which can be bought at most groceries) > > I'm seeing this online: > > << Red Devil Lye, also known as Lewis Red Devil Lye Drain Opener, was the > trade name for a drain cleaner product sold by the manufacturer > Reckitt-Benckiser.
