Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Are lye and lime the same thing?!?! Or just work the same? , there is a VERY simple way to make lime water using dolomite powder described at the bottom of page 454 in NT (mine is older version so don't know if the page numbers match up with yours). Don't know if this is considered local enough for you but you can get pickling lime from www.mrswages.com our of St. Louis. I think pickling lime is pure food grade calcium hydroxide and dolomite is calcium magnesium carbonate. Laree , here is a site that is well illustrated.
