[shyland83]

i went to home depot in patchogue today to get the ingredients for the DIY 2 part. they had the mag flake, but nor dow flake. does anyone know where i can get it locally. by locally i mean 20-30 minutes from oakdale. thanks

keep in mind the new dowflake has a bromine issue it did not have when the article was written. Many in the chem forum say not to use it anymore, just wanted to give you the heads up.

Are they recommending a substitution?

I'm pretty sure I have a ton left over from last year. If you are interested let me know and I'll make sure. I'm right off Sunken Meadow Parkway.

Hey Scott,
I saw 50 lb bags of calcium chloride at the Depot in Setauket this weekend, I can't remember the name of the product but it was pellets and the composition was 94% ca cl with the balance as water. I don't know if this is safe to use. I am also looking to use the 2 part solution.

i think i'm going to order a kit from twopartsolution.com so i don't have to worry about it. it's a little more money but should last me a while. and they claim their stuff is still safe.
