I buy about the same amount and store just as Gunslinger. For me, 30-40lbs lasts me a good long time even using Acetone. If you haven't benched DI before, start with about 20-30lbs so you know you have enough but still gives you room if you mess up and have to let the board condense.

+1 30-40 lb should be good and give you some room for error, or a quite long benching session.

also make sure you smash it up as small as possible..... any large rocks of it do you no good

Does using Acetone speed up the evaporation process of the DICE in the pot? What else might be used instead of Acetone?

What does "let the board condense" mean?

(I've got a pot and prepped the board per the cooling guide here, just waiting for the time to try it.)

About how long would 20-30 pounds of DICE last if stored in an igloo cooler? Could you use it over a weekend or would you expect to burn through it all in a single benching session?

I had a pound of dry ice that came with some frozen food once. Put it in the Freezer and checked on it 24 hours later. It was gone.

P.S. - what's easier for you guys to read on this black background? Do you prefer white or blue text?
