UK NaOH

[JustCurious.]

Hey,

Getting tired of ordering NaOH off of ebay, any suggestions on where I can physically get NaOH in the UK ?

Saw it in boots 98 % pure online, anyone tried this ?

Don't you guys use caustic soda over there ??

 

[JustCurious.]

Yeah same thing I know I can probably get it from somewhere, just seeing if anyone knows where exactly.

I've only ever used lab grade NaOH, you use caustic soda from a hardware store or something EW ?

Yeah .. Sure do mate , it should be fairly easy to find as you fellas use similar cleaning products to us down under .....

 

[JustCurious.]

Yeah I'll go find some tomorrow in a hardware store.

I was reading your 100 g ACRB tek a couple of days ago, I use MHRB - would your tek be any different from Cyb's if I used MHRB ?

Your product looks great by the way :thumb_up:

Is the mini A/B totally pointless with MHRB ?

Cleanup is not pointless until your confident your spice is dmt & only dmt.
Mini a/b will cleanup an mhrb extract nicely.

Robert Dyas have it.

Doesn't need to be lab grade bro, 98% will work mint. I think mine was 98-99%

I use the NaOH from boots and have never had any problems.

Yes as concombres said it'll clean any extraction up and I combine all 5 pulls back to back then do one or two pulls to see what's left behind and I usually do not do freeze precipes anymore , but you must have quality mature root bark to do so .. :thumb_up: let us know of you're results JustCurious ..,

Wilkinson also had NaOH last time I looked.

Can hydroponic ph Up and Down be used if needed ?

It depends what they're made of. If you've already got them and can't/won't go to a nearby shop and buy caustic soda for well under a fiver...

To substitute caustic soda, you'd need to use the pH up, of course.

Seems like a waste of money to me.

Hydroponic pH up is likely potassium carbonate (K2CO3).
Swimming pool pH up is usually sodium carbonate (Na2CO3).

Lye (NaOH) is far too caustic for those purposes.

In my country, lye prills are sold in 500 gram bottles in all the hardware stores. Supermarkets here sell either liquid crap with useless additives or lye prills that are mixed with aluminium and nitrate. Avoid those.

Okay thanks everyone...

Will start on friday EWW, I'll post the results as soon as I can :thumb_up:

I ended up getting the Wilkinson's one for £2 as it was the only shop I found with it, I went to boots and I couldn't find it.

Have you used this ?

I found an MSDS online which says 90-100 % which is hardly convincing and the bottle itself has no ingredients list; it only mentions 'Hazardous Substances - NaOH'.

It should be okay I think...

B&Q concentrated caustic soda:thumb_up:

 

[JustCurious.]

Thanks for the suggestion but I'll try this Wilkinson's one for now, I think I may still have just enough for one last ex. with the proper lab grade anyway.

I use the wilkinsons one, good stuff it's just sodium hydroxide nothing else and for £2 it's worth it
