    my homemade lye ( sodium hydroxide) is from wood ashes and
    water..... i made one of the first posts on the subject and thought
    it was fairly clear how to and where to buy and under what names and
    departments one could find lye in retailers stores.. 

    potassium hydroxide is, i believe a non-chlorine bleach..pearl ash,
    potash flake..etc.. 

    i stand by that sodium hydroxide is lye as is the ingredient in the
    original question about "red Devil Brand" lye being hard to find and
    expensive.of which i agreed with.neither..respectfully,.R.E..Rourke..
    oh by the way wikipedia is not the most reliable source on the world
    wide web..in my opinion as anyone that registers may contribute to or
    edit anything anytime on any subject..so if 'wiki' confused you,
    don't be surprised..what one knows as true is truth..I've found that
    rarely does that change
