"How would I determine superfat % w/this lye? My "go-to" lye calc calculates the amount of lye needed for a specific superfat % based on the lye being 100% pure. This lye is 98% pure tho, so a lye calc factoring 100% NaOH would be off by a little. Example: a 5% superfat amount using 100% lye would be closer to 7% or 8% (estimated) if that exact same weight were used w/ 98% NaOH instead. Is there a lye calc that takes 98% NaOH into account when calculating superfat %?"

"Used to be my preferred lye supplier..."
COMMENTS:  I really like the flake sodium hydroxide. Used to be able to get 8lbs from WSP for around $26 but then they stopped selling it bulk which was disappointing. I continued to purchase as it is nice lye until I started getting batches with strange debris. I have started purchasing my lye elsewhere due to the inconsistency in quality and the more than doubling of price. This has been by far the most expensive I have found.

"great stuff at a reasonable price"
COMMENTS:  I have used a few different brands & formats of lye (beads vs. flakes) but stopped buying the others when I found this one! Great product at a reasonable price.

" Sodium Hydroxide Flakes"
COMMENTS:  I love the flakes! They do not have static that sticks to the cup that I use to pour it in. It does have "some" dust when poured so don't get too close when pouring. I would say that it performs well in my soaps and is priced reasonably. Will continue to purchase.

"More comfortable with this"
COMMENTS:  I have used this sodium hydroxide for years. But recently WSP was out of stock for quite a while ... and so was I. I waited and finally bought from someone else .. I will go back to WSPs - I feel more comfortable with it. If for some reason a small piece misses my water pitcher (Yikes!!) - it is large enough to see and hear - just makes me feel safer.

"Love the lack of static; takes a while to dissolve"
COMMENTS:  This is great to not have to worry about static with the beads (just use a dryer sheet the first time you open those) but it takes a good 15-30 minutes for all the flakes to dissolve when using 100% ice. Maybe it doesnt take as long with room temp water. Other than that, I really love these flakes. They are also the least expensive supplier I have found out there for smaller quantities.

"High Quality Sodium Hydroxide"
COMMENTS:  This made my soap making so much easier. It dissolves easily in water, both frozen and liquid, and doesn’t clump. I’ve never had lye pockets using this lye. The only thing I would be careful of is making sure to wear a mask over your mouth and nose, especially when getting to the bottom of a container. I wasn’t wearing a mask when I got to the bottom of my first bottle, and the dust got kicked up into the air, right into my face. Other than that, I have no complaints, it gets the job done!

"Lye Is Lye!"
COMMENTS:  Unlike many of the soapers here, I've only tried out two lye brands: Wholesale Supplies and my local supermarkets lye. Buying my lye from WSP was cheaper, and the quality does seem better. I really like how it is flakes and not little beads. The bottle is very safe. So safe that I accidentally made the cap hard to open. This is completely my fault for not paying attention when I closed it the last time. The description is true, it does have way less static than other types of lye. However, I noticed the fumes were a lot higher with this lye. This isn't a huge issue, and I believe I'll continue to buy my lye from here.

COMMENTS:  This was my very first time using lye and I was very nervous about it. The flake form I purchased from WSP was so easy to use, excellent for a beginner. I bought the 2 lb container, which was easy to pour from the wide mouth. I was properly protected and had no issues whatsoever. The price is also fantastic, as I'd been tempted to buy from a local hardware store but would have paid 3x as much! I will definitely continue to buy this item.

"Lye flake disaster"
COMMENTS:  I made several batches of our CP soap with this product and ended up with undissolved lye issues in every batch. I prefer granule lye over flakes and definitely learned the hard way on this one. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I find the flake to be harder to handle/measure. If your a new soap maker, watch carefully to make sure it has completely dissolved, I make goat milk soap and soap with lye/milk mixture at 80-100°.

"Works perfect."
COMMENTS:  I've never ordered flakes before, but I thought I would give them a try. Price is really good per ounce (which is why I decided to try it), a bit "powdery" but works very well. By "powdery" I mean that when pouring into my measuring container, there is some "smokey" fumes that come off them that I never experienced with the bead type. Not an issue if you wear a mask like I do. Performs perfectly and I will definitely order again.

"Very easy to use - no static!"
COMMENTS:  I really like this lye. The product I used before was in a bead form that tended to hang up on the container due to static. The flakes don't do that at all. I was concerned that the flakes might be slow to dissolve, but I did not experience any problem with that at all. There is no difference at all in my hot process soaps or shampoo bars from those made with the lye beads, so I am a happy convert! The container is easy enough to open, considering that it needs to be child-safe and moisture proof.

"Better than the granules! "
COMMENTS:  These flakes are the way to go. They dissolve better than the granules--I strain my lye solution when I pour it into the soap batter and I noticed the flakes leave behind fewer clumps. They're also easier to work with because they're not full of static electricity like the granules.

"Love the flakes! "
COMMENTS:  I love the lye flakes, they're so much easier to measure and there's absolutely no static! I had a terrible batch of beads that flew everywhere and it was very dangerous, it turned me off the beads permanently, I'm so glad I can find the flakes they work great for me. Several batches of soap and not a single issue so far.

"Best Sodium hydroxide!"
COMMENTS:  I've been through a few companies looking for a good Sodium hydroxide, this is by far the best I've bought. These don't stick together like the beads, and there's little to no dust like the ones I've gotten elsewhere. I won't be buying my lye anywhere else!

"Best I've used!"
COMMENTS:  I really like this Sodium Hydroxide. I've tried two different brands, both flakes and granules, and this brand does not have the stronger fumes. It dissolves easily and is a 50-50 shot with lint. When there is lint it is very little. I also like that it comes in 2 lb containers. This will be my lye from now on.

"Great price, wish it was granulated"
COMMENTS:  I love the idea of flake lye because you don't get the tiny granules bouncing everywhere and sticking to things, but...I've found it just doesn't dissolve well into frozen goat milk. I end up with large flakes in the bottom of my lye pot that just won't dissolve. I am sure it's just the cooler temperature that is required to dissolve lye into milk, but sadly can't use this. Now if you all sold sodium hydroxide in granulated as well, you'd have a steady order from me!

"Excellent!"
COMMENTS:  I have tried lye from other suppliers, but WSP has always been consistent and the best! The lye dissolves easily and I never have any problems. I also like that the containers are thick and extra child safe (sometimes i struggle to open it too haha - very safe indeed!). The only problem is sometimes the lye is stuck together in a huge clump, so it's a bit hard to get it out of the container, but besides that this is my go-to lye!
