SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND CONCERNS

Everyone, especially beginners, should wear goggles and gloves as a safety precaution.

Purchase gloves that are somewhat close-fitting, allowing you a degree of feel. Look for latex, neoprene/latex, heavy plastic, or natural rubber gloves. Make sure that the material is not slippery; it’s important to have a reliable grasp.

As you decide how to handle the safety issues for you, your family, or any unknowing passers-by, keep in mind the dangers of dry sodium hydroxide, the lye solution, and even the less concentrated soap within the pot. Pots and bowls should not be placed close to the edge of a counter or a table. Consider cats and dogs; educate your family; put up warning signs; make sure that you will be able to monitor the process from start to finish or wait for another time; and factor in all sorts of contingencies before deciding to proceed.
