What kind of salt do you use?

[doolittle]

I have looking at information on making salt bars for a couple of months now. I have read that you can use epsom salt, sea salt, and table salt of this. I really question the table salt. So I would like to know what everyone uses in there salt bars. And do you use fine or corse? Thank you.

I use the boxes of kosher salt from the super market. Works great for me.

I use normal old el cheapo table salt from the supermarket in my salt bars. It works just fine.

I have never tried Epsom salts, but have been told not to, as they are not actually salt, ie sodium chloride. It is Magnesium sulphate, a whole different thing.

I have never made them but I have bought them a few times & I am sure it was basic table salt each time.

I prefer sea salt, but used Kosher, canning, and regular table salt.
