Lye in the UK

Hallo! :-)

Is there anybody on here in the UK with a supply of lye they would consider selling me a bit of?

I am after proper food grade lye not lab grade or technical grade.

I have found some for sale from German delis but (perhaps stupidly) I am a bit loathe to pay €16 postage on top of the product cost.

many thanks!

I bought my lye through Amazon. I imagine Amazon UK will will have a similar product/affiliate merchant.

Shipping may still be high as it is classified a hazardous material.
