I am preparing to start my first ever extraction and have decided to try two different methods. The first being the lazymans tek, and the next go around the Cybs’ Salt A/B tek.
My question is, is Food Grade Lye an appropriate grade lye to use or should I only use one the specifies 100% Lye such as found on a drain cleaner label?

food grade 100% sodium hydroxide is ideal. Wear gloves and use eye protection . Have some Distilled white vinegar for neutralization of spills. Lye burns suck and will blind you if you are not careful.

Good luck

Thank you very much for the well wishes and the quick and poignant answer! I am so excited to be the proprietress of my own journey and feel more confident now with the help you’ve given! 🙌
