yeah, that's awesome, i bet your tallow is better than the belgian stuff i have

but i gotta make this stuff, probably gonna go up the road and get the bits and do my reading and learn the ratios to use... i never owned me some pearl ash before in my life, though i know i can make it out of ashes of fires from wood, this is something that is better than hard soaps... it was part of the reason why it never caught on until someone figured out electrolysing sodium chloride, and dealing with the chlorine to get sodium hydroxide

you probably know you can't make soap with sodium carbonate, and you need electricity to make sodium hydroxide i'm sure
