Randy's 3 parts

[elm66]

Hy there,

 

I need to make a 2/3 parts additive from Randy but can not seem to find anywhere the dowflake calcium chloride. I am in McLean.

Does anyone know where to find this locally?

Thank you

 

Eric

 

PS: baking soda and magnesium is easy to find.

Sure, we all know,

 

We're just not telling you

generally it seems like specialty hardware stores have it year round but it is a seasonal product try a true value store

I got a 50# bag at the home depot in Leesburg, but this was at the beginning of the winter season. Prestone Diveway heat at Walmart... Problem is that it is seasonal. Good luck with the search.

This site isn't going to be cheap but they carry it all year.

I picked up a bag of Dow Flake from the White Cap in Springfield about 3 weeks ago.

Not sure where to get Mag Flake...

Got a 50lb bag of Peladow last summer, looks similar to Kent Turbo Calcium.

They also have the Mag Flake products.

They are just North of the Baltimore Beltway in the Whitemarsh area.

I now have everything needed for the 3 part in large amounts. I could sit down and measure everything out dry and bring to the next meeting. Who would want some?? How much would you want to make?

[Stephen Wright]

I plan on being at the meeting and would be happy to buy a set. Enough for 5 gals? Whats that 2 cups dry per gal for the Ca and 2 1/4 cups per gal for the Alk? I have read about it, but havent made it myself before.

 

Where did you end up finding the bulk chemicals?

I loaded up on the DowFlake in the winter, (planned to use it for the driveway too) and recently got the Mag Flake in a trade with another member. I don't think you are going to find it again untill December at best.
