LYE, ain't just for cleaning out your sewer drains

LYE, ain't just for cleaning out your sewer drains

Lye, Pot Ash, or Caustic Soda also known chemically as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH),is a great product for getting rid of those pesky problems around the house. For this discussion will we refer to Sodium Hydroxide by its more common name, Lye.

Lye has been around for years and mankind has greatly benefited from it caustic action on different products. I myself use it as a metal cleaner as it works extremely well in removing grease, oil, or other smudges on freshly ground metal, prior to final finish.

A Garrett Snuff glass full of pelleted lye near the front door was a common sight in the 18th and 19th centuries. Opening the door to an intruder or stranger could have terrible coincidences when communication sometimes took days to relay. A stubborn robber rapist or bully was sure to struggle with both eyes and his mouth full of lye. The end results would most likely be partial or complete blindness and a best case scenario it would cause death from ingestion of the lye. An early method of murdering a person was to pour lye down their throats. Excerpts from actual case reports show that it was a horrific, slow and painful death. It is believed by many that John Wilkes Booth escaped the burning barn in Washington DC, after he killed President Lincoln and later committed suicide by drinking a glass of lye in Enid, Oklahoma, in the early part of the 19th Century.

Lye is also used in the making of cloth, paper, soaps, cleaning product, crystal-methamphetamine and a world of other product. Lye is a great product to help rid yourself of that ever bloating and now stinking body in your basement. Not only is that corpse a health concern for you and others it will draw vermin and even your neighbor's dog. Also when the long arm of the law finds your ex-wife's boyfriend laid out on the Craftman's work bench you are going to be in shall we say, deep doo-doo!

As a teenager I have used lye to remove the excess flesh (tissue) and hair from numerous animal skulls that I have pickup as road kills over the years for my science class. I also have used lye to clean the tissue and grease from large leg bones of both cattle and deer. By cleaning the oil and tissue from the bones, I can then dye them with chemicals and use the clean, dyed bone for knife handles.

If you have a big enough pot like a steel barrel you can mix water and lye together and then heating it to approximately 300* F, or a good rolling boil a body can be rendered down in 12 to 14 hours. Using a pressure cooker such as they have down at the canning plant a human body will be rendered to liquid in about 4 or 6 hours. In both cases you need to strain out the bones, loose teeth, and occasionally the hair before you flush the remains down the drain and letting the cities' digestion tanks at the sewer plant take care of the soup. Warning big chunks will plug up drains and city sewer lines and this ain't good people. The poor man's method is to just dump the corpse into a shallow grave and pouring a few pounds of lye on the body. Lye will draw natural moisture from the surrounding soil and this will facilitate the chemical action needed. I would suggest however you spray the lye with a water hose if available as this will greatly enhance success in decomposition and turning the tissue into a slimy, unrecognizable clump of goop.

Later I will post more on using lye and it benefits for cleaning your Acne pitted face and how it is used to in relieving leg cramp at night. Until then, a can of RED DEVIL Lye is only about $3.49 a can at your grocery store.
