You the Man Scott----

   btw, galoots, when working with heavy bases, like lye, lime and portland
cement, rinse your hands or body parts with vinegar for fast relief from the
dryness that accompanies having ALL of your natural oils and moisture sucked
out. If I got lye in my eye, I'd figure out a way to rinse with kitchen vinegar
while waiting for the ambulance.
         You do what you think is right.
best to all galoots everywhere: gam in OlyWA/USA

cares for none of them!

gloves are optional at this strength, but hey they're cheap. It takes a 
long time to wash it off your skin anyhow.

good 'ol hydrox.  Its like a secret weapon. It has a lot of uses.
  Its about the fastest ph adjuster in a fluid. Acidic fluids have no 
chance.
Add a very little hydrox? and just jack that ph back up, I mean now. 
Hydrox neutralizes them brutally, goodbye acid.

Its the simplest ingredient of soap.
