The more I look at it, and the more I think about it, the more I think one should put clay or Epsom salts in with the mixture to prevent fire and even possible spontaneous combustion. If I did not do that, I would definite only put it in a fireproof container. Patent at http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6824756/description.html discusses using a hydrated salt, such as Epsom salts to stabalize.

Missed the key, that should have been 70%.

Thanks Marshall. I'm going to try this. I have a nylon mesh bag (courtesy of nylon pantyhose :-) and will try this before spending any money on line. Seems it takes just a little when dealing with a small area, according to the size packages on line. Samala, Renee--who doesn't get the chemistry formula, but can follow the more citric, less chlorite (though 30/60 doesn't add up to 100% :-) /-------Original Message-------/ C6H8O7 + NaClO2 = ClO2 + NaC6H5O7 + 3H Thus one would needs to use 2.12 times as much BY WEIGHT of sodium
chlorite as citric acid for 100% efficiency. However I would simply put
an excess of citric acid, like 30% sodium chlorite and 60% citric acid
which works out to be 2.33 to 1.
