Anybody know the ratio of using Boric Acid Powder in place of Boric Acid Granular?

Likely 1:1. I could find no hydrates of the acid. Dan

All I can remember is that one is supposed to be easier to dissolve than the other, but I don't remember which is which.

Thank you Patrick,

I think the granular may be the easier to disolve, the powder just sat on the surface and took considerably longer to disolve than the other ingredients. I followed Dans' advice and used powder as I would have had I the granular.

Boric acid is not very soluble. About 5% at room temperature. Dan
