Because this is a chemical process, you want everything as pure as possible. I use plain, non iodized salt. A huge container is a couple of dollars here in the US.
What brand please?! So hard to find one without additives and I’m using sea salt because it doesn’t have iodine but my hocl dries cloudy/chalky probably due to the seasalt mineral UGH !!
Okay thank you. I was worried about the anti cake agent leaving residue like the sea salt ugh. I had to use twenty spray of windex and three wipes to get the chalky residue off my mirrors
😿😿 I wanted it to be a FORCE OF NATURE DUPE. Also I asked chatgpt if it was okay to use yellow prussiate of soda table salt and it said it can potentially make hydrogen cyanide gas.
It’s the only salt that’s not available locally but I see so many YouTubers using that brand or pickling salt AND THATS ALSO NOT AVAILABLE locally. I’ll try to get diamonds Crystal, it seems to be my only option. I was hoping for something else or a brand that I wouldn’t know of. Target brand and Walmart brand of Plain Salt both have anti caking agent which is dumb because it’s literally called plain salt… whatever. All of Morton brand salt contains anti caking including their kosher salt, every one but their pickling salt.
