I have no idea how much 5 gallons of sodium benzoate weighs. I've never tried to measure it by weight.

By my math, pure SB will be about 62.5 pounds for 5 gallons

S B is not very heavy by volume. I have never weighed that much at a time. I fill a 5 gal bucket often during heavy formulation periods from a 50# bag. I would guess around 30-35# per 5 gal bucket volume.

I would suggest adding an ounce of Methyl Paraben per gallon of meat blended into your contact slurry for best results.

360 oz will be the rough dosage of SB for that volume of bait. 23-25# of SB is what I estimate you will need to be safe. That is about 1/2 bag of SB.

That's what I came up with so I'll buy bulk. I've always used fresh bait but am gonna try different stages of taint next year and see what happens.

Thanks for the help guys!

Do you sell bulk (Bob) or (Paul) I'd rather support you guys!

We sell lots of things in bulk. Typically we will package/bag 5# per bag for easier handling. Paul may sell the same if you contact him to confirm that.

I had to fill up our 5 gal bucket of Sodium Benzoate today.

I weighed the bucket at a full capacity it weighed 26 #.

don't forget the methyl paraben in the horse meat especially
