I am wanting to make a 2 part solution and I am using buffer and briners grade calcium chloride 94%. I have the buffer solution figured out, I just need some input on how much calcium chloride to use. Any info would be helpful!
Thanks!:nerd:
 
Quoting Randy from his "An Improved Do-it-Yourself Two-Part" article, "If you use an anhydrous or monohydrate calcium chloride (such as Dow Mini-Pellets, Kent's Turbo Calcium, Prestone Driveway Heat or Peladow Calcium Chloride), then you should use about 20% (1/5) less solid calcium chloride by volume to make the recipe. Note that the solution will get quite hot when dissolving anhydrous calcium chloride." Your product is basically in this category. So, if you're making Recipe #1, use 400 grams, and for Recipe #2, use 200 grams.
