Hi everyone. Really want to try @Randy Holmes-Farley salt mix recipe. I have gathered and sourced everything except the sodium sulfate. It’s harder to get here or very expensive in Canada. Is there a substitute I can use or omit it? Thanks you

You can use magnesium sulfate for quite a bit of it. 1300 ppm magnesium by magnesium sulfate will add 5,136 ppm of sulfate, which is more than you need.
