Where to buy the materials for Randy's 2 part locally? (Westport)

[dudemeister]

Anyone know where to buy Dowflake and Magflake locally? Buying from BRS is just going to add up over time! Thanks in advance!

I definitely would like to know where to get magflake.

as for dowflake I use calcium from leslie's pool supply instead

Thank you for that. Anyone on Magflake?

Pretty sure I got mine from Torno Hardware at some point last year - they had to special order a 50lb bag of this.

Full disclosure though - read through this thread to know the "risks" of using the commercial stuff. You'll get some precipitate in the mixing jug due to impurities; Randy notes that this is most likely calcium sulfate.

Right around the corner from me- thanks Fuz! Do you concur on the calcium?

I still use the BRS stuff for Calcium since it's a much more frequently used additive but the other stuff seems to be in use quite extensively.
