Re: Salt substitute



Original poster: "Patrick Herd" <zl2uph-at-hotmail-dot-com> 

Road salt shouldn't be a problem, I've heard of other people using it for
bucket caps.
I've also heard of using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as it doesn't
corrode the electrodes so quickly.

Hope this is of some help
