Default Borax Technical Powder

In reading about the egg cures I noticed that some of you were still using 20 mule team borax. I dont know if you have tried the Borax technical powder but in my opinon I think it works a lot better. It is a lot finer and if you screen it, it really turnes it into a fine powder. I have found that any little quick stop store that is serviced by Harbor Freight is able to get it in 50# bags in the $35 to $50 range. I think that once you try this stuff youll never go back to the coarse 20 mule team

Thanx fishhead5! You never know what you're going to learn here on the fishing channel. I always wondered why some of the egg cures I see have flour like borax for a base. I even thought of using my antique flour sifter on the 20 mule I've got. It didn't really work. I'll try your tip fishead5 and thanx again.

The bend is your friend!
