ice dams

I use palladow salt on the roofs and gutters . Has them raining water in a few minutes . I use them on a building with 4 300 foot wings. I hoist some one up in the skidloader bucket and take a small scoop and drizzle it into the gutters . Work really well

Just a clarification, if it's Peladow you're using, it isn't salt, it's calcium chloride. If it really is palladow, then you could be correct. It's also fairly corrosive.

I use magic salt out of bags and the straight liquid on them.

Making sure to lay it up and down the roof in some heavy concentrations to make channels also

Mark... Fairly Corrosive is being polite

John, I was trying to be nice. Do you mean just because a respirator, rubber gloves and other protective clothing is suggested when applying calcium that I was understating it? :wink

... Buy Battery acid... its cheaper.

Its like people that spray cal chlor on roads for gust control and can't understand why they have so much problems with corrosion......
