The building where I work recently began purchasing sidewalk deicing salt i n boxes of 50 pounds. Inside the box the salt is contained in a light plas tic bag. It appears to me that this setup is used for some kind of automat ion - a salt spreader of some kind.
I need to get the salt into small barrels and was wondering if there is a t ap of some kind that can be used to "drain" it. Remember the old oil cans and the piercing spout driven into the can's top? Something like that. I' ve done the google thing and can find nothing. It would be nice if it had some way to stop the flow also. I never need 50 pounds.
Thanks
