Kodak spent much effort hiding the fact that salt gives Microdol its fine grain.
And now Costco is telling everyone.

Eye of toad, tail of a newt, dead dogs eye and a pinch of salt. Mixed under a full moon at midnight. Secret ingredients to make a magic brew.
I take objection at this. The problem with this variation in grain is that it causes lack of clarity in exact quantities, which we all know is something crucial in photography.
So in any further discussion, I expect that if people think of saying "take this with a grain of salt", they will do the RIGHT thing and instead say:
* Take this with (X number) grains of salt of (Y) brand
* Take this with (X) milligrams of salt
Please also state if kosher or not, and which anti-caking agents may be present.
We really need to put a stop to this madness.

Observant developer home-brewers prefer pure Sodium chloride without Iodine and anti-caking agents because they don't want the risk of these extra chemicals that are not in the formula to affect how the developer works. It's the anti-caking agents that make a salt solution cloudy, and that's perhaps something that you don't want to be absorbed into the soft emulsion of some films. It's best not to take risks.
The rear label of that Costco salt bottle says "Ingredients: sea salt."
So no iodine or anti-caking agents or anything else.
And we all know that sea NaCl is superior to normal NaCl.

But the pink Himalayan salt was formed back when Earth's atmosphere was still pure and clean.

Funny how this comes up a day after I was sitting in a small vegan joint in the neighborhood which had pink salt on the table. I had gone 68 years without seeing such a thing before, until yesterday.
I use sea salt to cure pork (make it into bacon)
