Wow. I didn't know that quicklime could be purchased. Some fun stuff can be done with that. I thought the stuff was too dangerous for most people to handle.
Thanks for the tip!!!

What's the danger from it????
The heat of dissociation that occurs upon contact with water???
Driveway De-Icer pellets (CaCl) can't be any worse can it?

No, you are right, what is the danger. I have seen video of the slaking and it gets steaming hot. No worse the dumping water on lye. In 1975 a pound of lye cost $0.33 now it is a couple bucks. That sounds like product liability insurance to me. There are some really dumb people out there.
Still it is nice to know the stuff is available. I wonder if there is something dumb I can do with it.

You should use lead for all the metallic parts on the still including the pot. Just kidding.
