Question about mixing batches of salt

[ctyler85]

I was reading through the other long thread about triton tests and certain salts having different content and what not. The main suggestion seems to be mix up an entire batch of salt, not just partial batches to get get the best blend. I was looking to get started on the triton method and was going to do my 4 15% weekly water changes to try and get back to a baseline before starting any dosing. My question is, the only thing anyone seems to have available is the 200g bucket of tropic marin and not the 32g boxes, but again buying the equal amount of 32g boxes will cost me and extra $40 more then buying the 200g bucket. Is there any preventative method to mixing these batches without the possibility of getting a mix matched blend for each batch? I am having a hard time imagining how to mix up 200g of salt at one time. Or do I just mix 35g batches like I normally do and keep my fingers crossed?

I'd do the latter.

Some people roll their buckets before using, but I can't be sure that won't make any de-mixing worse.
