I agree here, in the first few trial runs I made the cure would have about a years shelf life and then it would clump/brick up a bit. I added silica and that solved the problem and never seemed to change it's successes.

I've never tried the plastic bag idea like Nick mentioned, but it all still circles back to finding a company that will mix/bottle or mix/bag the cure. The place I had an agreement with backed out after the second run because the dye is like a super spreader, you don't see it but when your done your nostrils clothes, walls, counter tops, etc all turn pink and it's a bitch to get off...

A closed system hopper feed directly into the pouches would reduce the amount of pink dust. The equipment used does all of the filling and sealing automatically with little human involvement. The only problem is companies that offer these services are generally FDA, cGMP, food grade facilities and they aren't about to let that pink dust in the door. Alternatively Keith, you could just buy the equipment for thousands and put it in your garage. I'd even help you set it up and do qual runs. I think you should do that for us. grin


I have yet to find a place with the above available. Doing it by hand it not an option, my garage still has evidence of pink from years ago, that's where it all started. I still need to repaint it. rofl

I mean the next run I do, I want to do 1000+ bottles/bags. I'm sure it would all sell pretty quickly, but it would be nice to have a little stock on hand for the future as well.
