When I switched to IO, I didn't mix salt brands at all. I would just do your next water change with the new salt.

I second Hawk..
Although I have read of people using 4-5 diffents kinds of salts each time they mix water to make sure they get everything, and that no one salt is missing something..

use up what you have left ( no point wasting it ) then next water change use the new stuff. maybe do small changes at first with the new salt.
