Hi all:
I'm gearing up for my first major project with cherry. An associate of mine recommended using a lye solution to darken the wood. After some research, I'd like to try it. However, I've found that Red Devil lye is no longer sold locally. I've found a few leads through candlemaking websites, but they require me to purchase 30lb of the stuff. I just want a little to experiment with. Are there any other brands to look for? My local searches have yeilded nothing that is pure sodium hydroxide, and I'm reluctant to use anything that has "other stuff" in it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, John.
