Action Electronics no longer recommends using salt solution. They use a
starter solution to speed up the making the CS.
Quoting from instructions: "Since this is the method that Bob Beck is now
recommending and prefers, we will no longer be supplying the sea salt or
dropper bottle as we had previously."
