Hi, my daughter's boy friend works for a landscaper and plows during the
winter. His company has this stuff called magic salt. It has a whiskey
product in with the salt which doesn't harm the walkways or corrode
anything. I will keep the ice and snow soft up to 25 degrees below. It
really works. Now, the Home Depot version is called Blizzard wizard... Andy

That's the stuff I took with me in a brown bag in my pcket three times to

other than wasting it; (as you shovel it up and toss it away from the 
walk) I've done this. You wind up with a slush that actually throws heavy 
but well.
But that's a lot of material. But if I were a contracter and paid to keep 
the prop free, I'd do it that way.

we always do. It really makes a big difference. The other day all of the 
neighbors sidewalks had about an inch of snow and ours was just wet. When it 
starts falling over an inch per hour it can't keep up. But even then it 
makes clearing the sidewalk much easier.

So if this stuff melts snow and ice, would it
make sense to put some down when the first snow

RE: [BlindHandyMan] majestic ice melt

2010-02-19 Thread Steve Crews
Betsy, putting it down before a snow or sleet, does help keep frozen precip
from sticking to concrete surfaces.

It makes it easier to scrape off.

Curious,
So if this stuff melts snow and ice, would it 
make sense to put some down when the first snow 
is on the way or shortly after it begins?

Hi, my daughter's boy friend works for a landscaper and plows during the
winter.  His company has this stuff called magic salt.  It has a whiskey
product in with the salt which doesn't harm the walkways or corrode
anything.  I will keep the ice and snow soft up to 25 degrees below.  It
really works.  Now, the Home Depot version is called Blizzard wizard... Andy

I have been using flakes in stead of pellets.  It is believed that the

[BlindHandyMan] Majestic Ice Melt

2008-12-24 Thread Lenny McHugh
I don't remember who ask me what pet friendly ice melt I was using. A 
neighbor purchased a bag at the same time as me. He kept the packageing and 
it is Majestic Ice Melt.

We purchased it last year at Lowes for around $13. Here is the description 
from the manufacturer.





Majestic Ice Melt is...

Extraordinarily effective

  a.. Contains calcium magnesium acetate, the most desirable de-icing agent 
on the market
  b.. Controls the freeze-thaw cycle with time-release formulas that stay on 
the surface area longer.
Anti-corrisive

  a.. Creates a bond between the surface area and the elements to protect 
agains corrosion and spalling.
  b.. Protects your surface, including interlocking pavers.
Cost and time efficient

  a.. Works longer, reducing the need for repeated applications
  b.. Works better, reducing the volume of product needed for a single 
application.
  c.. Cuts down on corrosive damage to property, vehicles and equipment
Safer than rock salt

  a.. Will not harm children, pets or plants; biodegradable
  b.. Includes Dolomite, providing additional traction control
  c.. No slimy residue results in minimal tracking on floors and carpets
