Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Sani Flush - is it lye (sodium hydroxide)?

2003-04-23 by Adam Seychell

The container label should have written on it 98% (or there 
about) sodium hydroxide. "Caustic Soda" is also synonym. Some 
drain cleaners are just a mixture of NaOH and other stuff so 
don't get them. Hardware stores are another source. Don't leave 
the lid off, as its extremely hydroscopic.
