KOH can be used, but it is still not as strong as NaOH.

Get your girlfriend or someone to order some off of ebay, 12 bucks a kilo. Not that you need someone else to order it, I'm just overly cautious.

You can't buy Caustic Soda in Mexico? How do you unblock your drains?

Go into any hardware store & ask for caustic soda, they should sell it.

If they ask why you need it (which they won't) say it's cause your sink's blocked.

It's a completly non-suspicious buy. It's 98-99% Sodium Hydroxide (NaOh)
