what kind of plastic? What solvent where you using? Was the solution stirred and lye added gradually or was it all added at once, and/or let the lye dissolve by itself without stirring?

lye and naphtha. i saturated water w/ enough lye and then mixed it in with the mhrb into a slurry. i'll have to get back to you on the type of plastic all i know now is that it was a distilled water jug. "Trust in your own wetware; your psyche and your body will be reunited." -Gracie and Zarkov

If you have to use plastic, make sure it is HDPE, high density polyethylene. What you explain has never happened to me, and I only used either glass, pyrex or HDPE jugs when storing certain chemicals. "The Menu is Not The Meal." - Alan Watts

Pour a lot of vinegar over that lye.
This is known to happen with HDPE#2 jugs over time.
Better to use glass in the sink or something as they also can leach plasticizers into the product which are carcinogenic.
