saint308 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 We all remember the bubbles topic. Here is my new question. My plastic (MF) has no bubbles. Once I add salt, instant bubbles. I have heard some of you mention heating the salt to take out the moisture. How long do you heat it? Can you over heat and burn the salt? Thanks. Saint.

nova Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yes you can burn salt. It turns brownish. I put the salt, about 2 cups at a time, on medium heat on my hotplate. You have to stir/fluff it a cuple of times. Heat it until you almost can't pick it up in your fingers(heat) or until it feels dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 cut up some coragated cardboard strips and add them into your salt container, this will keep the moisture out of the salt. weve been doing this since the early 70's with gunpowder in climates were there is lots of humidity, or hot days and cold nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfishRand Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 What about the old restaurant trick of putting a Saltine cracker in the sugar? Seems it would work for salt as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
