Now the question? Anchell in the "Darkroom Cookbook" suggests that a
substitute for Sodium Hydroxide is RED DEVIL Lye. This is an American label
(I'm Canadian) and several people I have spoken to have never heard of it.
My wife told me that her mother used to use LIONS Lye to flush out the drains
but I don't know if it is a substitute for RED DEVIL; I don't know if it can
even be bought anymore.
Would anybody, perchance, on the off chance, trivial pursuit question, ......
have an idea of a Canadian substitute for RED DEVIL Lye to replace the Sodium
Hydroxide?????
NaOH is used to strip old paint. I saw it in DIY-stores here in Germany in
1kg containers. NaOH is used very widely, it should be no big thing to get
it.
