I am getting low on my last lye guy bottle of lye beads, and I'd read that people preferred lye flakes because they don't jump around and misbehave due to static cling like the beads do. I was all set to order some of the flakes from WSP, but now it looks like they're not even carrying it anymore.

Does anyone have another source for the flakes? Or is there another sodium hydroxide form that doesn't get wonky from static in the winter (I do wipe things down with a dryer sheet and that helps, but it's not a perfect solution every time)?

Thanks!

I live in NC. What might be my best bet? Do not want lye powder when it arrives.

If you're referring to the flakes being bumped around and creating powder in the container I think that is going to happen no matter what. When you use lye flakes there is always a certain amount of powder in the bottom of the bottle, it's best to wear a mask when using it so you don't breathe it in.
