+1, salt has an affinity with water, it will draw moisture to itself like a magnet, some of the largest refrigeration systems on the planet work on this principle, absorption.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I had a bucket go hard on me when I was first starting out, but you can still use the salt from the hard bucket, you just need to chip the salt out with a knife first.

Maybe double lidding is the way to go.

I've left buckets lying around forever, never had any harden up.
