    Default Anyone know of Canning Salt

    I want to make liquid hide glue and I've read on the old blog of mortise and tenon that Don Williams suggests using "canning salt" instead of urea as urea will cause potential problems in the glue down the line.
    I've written to Don to specify what type of problems it can cause and where to buy this canning salt.

    I've done a google search with no luck in finding it. Ebay sells a mixture of canning and pickled salt.
    I've called some distributors of salt and they've never heard of it so, I'm sure it probably has another name for it in Oz.

    I'm hoping someone here has heard of it and knows where I can get the stuff. Also on the off chance that I can't, does anyone know where I can buy urea from and exactly how much urea do you mix with hide.

    I think that Kosher salt will work too. Canning salt doesn't have added iodide or silicates. Check your grocer in the area where empty mason jars are sold.
    Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

    But why do they have Canning and pickling salt selling as a mix on eBay? I'm not convinced it's the same but you could be right I won't dismiss it.
    btw I wrote to Jeff Jewitt, you all know him as he's written many articles and books on finishing. He's now selling on eBay and I just bought some urea. Still I'm not going to palm off the idea using canning salt if I ever find it but I'm using OBG now and it has urea in it and hasn't failed me yet. Anyway here is the link to his eBay link.
