Thread: Palladium Chloride Mixing

    Re: Palladium Chloride Mixing

    I only use pure Himalyan salt mined by Tibetan monks and carried by Nepalese Yaks from the depths of the famed Himalayan Salt Mines located at the foot of Mt Everest.

    Nothing else works as well for pt/pd printing.

    It's good on hard boiled eggs, too.

    Great. Now the cat is out of the bag. At least you didn't tell anyone about the use of the ground residue from the pituitary gland of Manx cats as one of the better sizing agents on the planet.

    You guys are just too funny.

    I did find something close to the salt Kerik mentions (pure Himalyan salt mined by Tibetan monks and carried by Nepalese Yaks from the depths of the famed Himalayan Salt Mines located at the foot of Mt Everest), but instead it was carried by imported Mongolian Yaks. The local Safeway had this product on sale for only $89.99/oz ... do you think it's worth it?

    Pardon my impudence, O esteemed ones, for dredging up this old thread, but I gather from the tone of this and preceeding comments that any old non-iodized table salt will do for mixing my palladium chloride.

    From my pantry, this will include sodium silico-aluminate, dextrose and sodium bicarbonate for the regular, or yellow prussiate of soda for the Kosher variety.

    Are these additives okay, or should I be looking elsewhere for table salt without the extras?
