Anybody used potassium hydroxide?

Thanks again for any help!

That's why lye is, John.

"What lye is," I meant.

But that's *not* what lye is. Lye is sodium hydroxide.

It can be either.

Not correct. Lye is specifically NaOH.

The lye made from ashes is potash lye, potassium
hydroxide.

OK, fine, but "lye" and "potash lye" are not the same thing.
