Use the KOH Link!

It's not dangerous...unless you get thirsty or decide to use it as eyewash.
I make my mix (28%) roughly 2Lbs of KOH to 3/4 gal of water.
Use goggles & gloves (little cuticle cuts burn if you get KOH mix on them). The initial mix will get warm while you are mixing it then cool down. If you live in a cold area this is best as it will not freeze. But you will have to use a PWM (highly recommended). If not then start low and add until you reach your desired amp draw

I'm sure I speak for every one here who has been doing this awhile, put the baking soda back in the fridge and get yourself some KOH!
Here's a link.

The only ones that use baking soda are the guys that have those 'Water for Gas" makebelieve reactors or other such nonsense.

Andy,
If you were where you're supposed to be, you'd know what's up!
Gaskets are fine. The 6x9 pulls 60 amps cold @ at least 5LPM.
Nick sounds really excited about it. If you'd go there, ya might find out more

I hate all this fu**in' snow!

2lbs of KOH per 3/4 gallon that's a lot of koh and after the dry cell use all that mixture what you guys do ? add just water or make a new mixture because i pretty sure that dry cell don't change KOH into gas only just water right?

If you are not exhausting alot of steam the majority of the KOH will remain in the cell. You should only have to add distilled water.
