It is used in making soap and as a drain cleaner. Some of the drain
cleaners have additives but I think soapmakers use the straight stuff. I
would check a drugstore or grocery store.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH LYE. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH LYE. It is nasty stuff at
least until it is way diluted down. Wear gloves and goggles while mixing.
It is at least as nasty as Sulphuric Acid.
