Columbus builders supply in grandview. About $15 for 50lbs
Don't know where magnesium is located. I've bought that from bulk reef, but it's expensive. Yes, randy's 2 part works great |

They have the stuff but what they will do for shipping is a big question. I had heard that they had a draconian no pickup policy. Last edited by CleveYank; 03/27/2009 at 06:35 PM. |

I suspect you won't have any luck finding old Dowflake, and that you'll have a hard time telling if its old or not...

well I asked at cora but I will ask here...
However I have found that I may have access to alot (100+lbs) of it for a very small fee. The catch Its been sitting for a several years (up to 10) unused in the original 50 lb bags. Inside my husbands work, They no longer use it at all. Is it any good? should I even bother?

If it's dry, then I bet it's fine
You may want to post in the Chemistry forum to get a true confirm |

I would also think that as long as it has stayed dry, it is still good. And I'd be up for a bag or two
