Use lotsa salt--I used 1 pound of NaCl per gallon of
water with good results. It's better to put too much
than too little. If the water becomes super saturated,
excess salt will settle on the bottom of the bottle,
but it won't hurt a thing. Also, hot tap water makes
the mixing job much easier and faster.
