the process does work but i no longer have a tank and don't want to move a hazardous chemical to my new place.

still have most of the 3kg i bought.

Bump. Great way to save money!

Bump for free stuff! If I was closer to you i'd grab it... Where did you get this BTW? I looked into recharging my resin a while ago but wasn't sure who would carry it

it was tough to find. I finally found a local soap making supplies place that sold it.

Cool thanks I'll try that... Lye reminds me of the movie Fight Club "selling rich women their own fat asses back to them"... This is the stuff Pitt/Norton burned the kiss in his hand with, caustic stuff eh

Good luck with your freebie :biggrin:

I know I thought about that scene every time I mixed the stuff (wearing my shoulder length gloves and eye protection) lol.

gone.
