Styrictly speaking it isn't (lye is potassium hydroxide and caustic is sodium hudroxide). For soap making purposes though, caustic soda is what most commercial recipes use

Oh. Oh yeah, i see. I just looked at the formulae. Fair cop.
So goggles and gloves. Probably want a plakky apron too.
Steel saucepan? Or do i want something tall?

Ok soap update.
I have been using the pine tar soap on a daily basis now since Red kindly sent them up to me. Its great and really hard wearing compared to other soaps I have used in the past. It has finally got to the point where it will become unusable in the next couple of days. This bar has lasted a lot longer than I initially thought it would.
I still have the other bars to work through and I will report back with more information on these. I think I will attack the honey and oatmeal bar next.
Cheers again for this soap. I have been squeaky clean for a few months now and smelling of wood smoke everyday.
