Mag flake safe?????

Hello everyone,

Can anyone tell me if Mag Flake is still safe to use. I am well aware of the warning posted in Randy's article but that warning is dated 2007.

I am wondering if anything has changed since then.

Is anyone currently using Mag flake successfully??

Thanks
Dan

Yep. Magflake from Buckeye Hydro (formerly Buckeye Field Supply)

I bought a large supply a long time ago, but I haven't heard any reports of problems.

magnesium chloride can be found in many places , as long as you know and the seller knows it doesn't have any harmful byproducts/ additives in it then you should be ok

I am looking at mag flakes by Dead Sea works. Are those the same as buckleys?

The picture shows the Dead Sea product. I assume that's what they're shipping.
