I found some alum online and it says that it's granular and 57.6%. Is this the kind you guys have used?

I used some that was pretty close to a powder. I bought it from Estes Chemical here in Dallas but the have distributors all over. I'm not sure what the actual aluminum sulfate concentration was.
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?

Karmann - Not sure if you found a local source, but my counterpart in NY might be able to source some for you - or give you a local dealer to contact. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll check with him.
I handle AlSO4 down here, but shipping it (anywhere) is a nightmare that is best avoided. I'm not certain about the 57.6% question. I can't access a label right now - but I believe aluminum sulfate is fairly consistent in its makeup.

Thanks guys. Kelly, I think I have found some locally but will keep you in mind if it doesn't pan out.

Karman, I would find out what else is in the stuff you found...Aluminum Sulfate (AlSO4) is 99.5%+ Alum and comes in powdered, ground, granular or liquid form (50 pound dry equivilent in a 55g drum). The is also food grade and industrial grade....Food grade is just slightly lower in iron contamination than the industrial grade.
