CGW Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Caustic and plastic pipes should be interesting, when he pours it in can I watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundman Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Most mum & pop hardware stores sell it in flake form in 1 kg plastic packets. Thai name is "soda fai". ...................... It is usually 97%++ pure so I would recomend your friend takes adequate precaution when mixing it with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdietz Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Also spotted at Tesco Lotus, hardware division. Good stuff, makes a decent bar of soap out of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd barrett Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thank you Soundman and Jdietz Just a reminder. Wear goggles or eye protection when mixing with water. NaOH is absolutely the worst stuff you can get in your eyes. I don't wish to alarm but just a few drops can cause permanent blindness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaifan2 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Whats the proper way to use? .I just threw a bag of those white flakes ( from the mom and pop thai store ) into the blocked toilet bowl and it just turned into a solid hard block ,causing even more of a blockage .

johng Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) The method I have used to good effect ( but as pointed out by Syd use protection ) half a bag of Soda fai down the toilet followed by a kettle full of boiling water poured at arms lenght quick retreat from the room and close the door. Caution the reaction is quite violent so be carefull. Edited March 14, 2010 by johng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danlo Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The best way with Soda Fai is put a good helping in the entrance of the drain, pour on Hot water and stand well back as the fumes will choke you, dont use cold water as the flakes will solidify and then you will have to pour on hot water, its good at getting the crap out of pipes.
