Rick, have you had a chance to contact them yet?

SW Ontario Canada (i.e. London) area:
KOH: Wilson Chemicals on Clarke Rd./Huron St.:
$83 for 55kg.
or 500g container for $28

I still get my Methanol (i.e. Methyl Hydrate 99.9% purity) at Crappy Tire $7/ 4litre jug.

hth

BC, CANADA

NaOH (Lye)
Home Hardware (www.homehardware.ca)
3kg for about $20
Special notes: Stores are all across Canada. Small size also available, but much more pricey per gram.

Methanol
Cloverdale Paint
4 liter jug for about $5 (price seems to vary)
Special notes: Cloverdale might be BC only. Ask for contractor pricing.
Canadian Tire (www.canadiantire.ca), Home Depot, and SuperStore also have this in their paint departments.
ps. The methanol might be labelled as Methyl Hydrate or Methyl Alcohol.

Cheers,

Hi, I just joined and I don't know if it is against the forum rules to post that I am a supplier as well as getting ready to learn to make my own Bio Diesel.
I am a supplier from Iowa. I sell from the website at www.garden-of-yizreel.com/home.html and www.shekinah-mercantile.com
I sell Potassium Hydroxide in 10 lb boxes@$20.00 and 2lb cans @$4.50. I don't know if these are good prices for anyone or not.
One can order online or call at 515-778-4890.

I am glad I found the group. I am a soap maker and candle maker and realized there is a need for the sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide for more than just soap makers. I hope I can be of assistance.
I also would like to learn how to make biodiesel so this is especially exciting to have found the forum as well.
