That is weird about the shipping. We can buy them here. Son in law gave
me one for Father’s Day last year. They are fun. One worry you have we
do not have as much of is the salt caking in the magazine. Mine did on
time. Seem to only cake there, and when I scraped,it out, all worked
well.

Maybe the old trick of mixing in some uncooked rice will prevent
caking of the salt if the humidity rises. It would still let the
salt load but the rice would be too big.

Crush up some silica gel in your salt or just shoot sand. I bet that
course silica they use in diamond brite would do a great job.

Might be too abrasive, like a New Yorker, for the plastic parts.

Plus, both sand and crushed up silica gel would be too big.
