Now ammonia sounds dangerous to me. It is highly basic, like lye, but is gaseous...and poisonous. I guess you don't mind.

Agreed.

Disagree. Nearly every product sold as drain cleaner is akin to lye solution. Haven't seen the solid form for years; I heard some lady blew it into her face and made the manufacturer of the lye appear responsible. How come all others had enough common sense to keep their faces out of it?

And I tried the "enzyme" approach to no avail. I really like Drano Gel.

Good advice from both of you. Thanks! "The Ranger" wrote

No I won't!

No, it comes from the alt.home.cleaning newsgroup, where the question was posted!

And I suppose I am nuts......

lye is still found in solid form at least here in teh bronx--took care of patients who as child drank some--horrible effect over ther years--many surgeries as patient grew

i was told it's at teh junction where the tub and sink connect a little furtehr down that's why when the sink is drained it runs into the tub

Gary is a most respected member of Usenet. Your insults are not welcome here in AHC. Now, go take a running jump - be off with you -back under your bridge. Mrs Bonk

Not at all nuts - far from it dear Gary, your advice is always excellent and your posts well worth reading. The poster is obviously a troll and I am beginning to think Choreboy, the friendless poster from this group is too. He followed me to the cooking chat group where I had hoped to meet you for some advice on my doughboys and while there he dished out some insults. I have put both of them in their places so hopefully they will behave in future.

I was concerned about him!

Sincerely, Choreboy

Yes Dear...Whatever you say...

I've no idea. However, if you get one of those 25' snakes, that is housed in a spinner, you can go after your clog, and you will probably find out where clogs happen in your pipe. Keep track of the footage extended. Oh, yeah, where some protection!

What I learned about Jesus was that he eats his own s*it.

Lye dissolves hair clogs.
