MAG chloride from Dead Sea Works

Anyone know where to get this? Aside from
BRS? I can’t seem to find a source online to get it.

How much do you need?
You want that specific brand?
You can buy mag chloride on Amazon/HD/Etsy/various industrial suppliers,etc...
A google search for Magnesium Chloride 50lb bag yielded plenty of sources..

https://www.southernstates.com/catal...lets-50lb.aspx
So many more suppliers...

Yes, going off of Randy’s recipe. Looking for 50lb bag. I’ve read several posts by Randy on it and aside from BRS he only talks about that specific brand.

Contact and ask for distributor list in your area or whatever..

You do not need to ONLY get the DSW brand.. There are other companies/other proven sources of mag chloride..
This is one..
http://meltsnow.com/products/magnesi...s-and-pellets/

Lots of places sell it as snow melt.. Just pull the SDS and look at the impurities,etc...

Thanks for the reference, I’ll take a look.

I believe the concern from reading his posts was the concentration of ammonia some of he other brands had. So he had tested this one brand and recommends it I was trying to stick to it.

You can get it from Etsy...

https://www.etsy.com/listing/5845104...SABEgIwhvD_BwE

I used to buy it from a shop here that closed down. He sold it to me for $100 a bag. So the price they are asking with shipping isn't too crazy. I'm sure you can find better though.

Thank you!
I had seen it somewhere for $24.99 just don’t know what shipping would be but they don’t stock it anymore.

Thank you for sending, I’ll take a look.
