What is lye

[Isaac sur Noos]

Thanks for your help,

French name is Soude Caustique, (caustic soda) it was available in
"grocery" stores (drogueries in French)

Yet sold often in bottles in paint stores, is there a noticeable
difference to use it diluted in water (for the hide glue application )
.

I'll find some soon, it seem a dangerous product. The French name
Lessive was meanig that because washing the clothes was done with a
process that create this product.

Greetings
