I buy salt at the local Food Lion grocery.  They have bakers salt (super fine grade) in 25# bags for about $4 I think  Best stuff I've ever used.  Coverage is exceptional.

Some feed stores call it mixing salt. Some brands are not as fine as others. I find that the finer the better. Morton salt makes the best for salting capes and SM game. If you are just salting flat skins a feed salt works. The feed stores here sell #50 and #80. # for # the #50 are cheaper so check the prices. You don't need to get a whole pallet of salt unless you are salting 1,000s of capes/hides. One #50 bag will do about 15-25 w-t capes, if you do your salting so you can reuse the excess salt.

George:

I can't find food grade salt here like you are talking about.  25# of fine salt would probably do what 50# of coarse livestock salt would do...correct?
