Difference Between Iodized and Non-Iodized Salt?

[kel]

I used the opposite one you're supposed to use on my fur and was wondering just what I did or did not accomplish. Didn't even notice until I was done. The skin looks pretty clean but when dry, although flexible, it still has a grease smell so I haven't done something right.

Not sure so maybe someone else will pipe in , But I think the iodine henders the tanning process in some way when I was home tanning the instructions always specified "non" iodized salt. Don't know why just what they said to get a proper tan.

Iodized Salt has Iiodine in it.....

SO I guess I have to resoak it in the right salt again and start over?

soaking again is the only option.Agitate to get it all out then resalt with no iodized salt is the only way possible.

I worked in a salt mine back when and Iodine was added to regular salt to make "Iodized" salt as it went through a mixing area. It does discolour your hands and anything else you touch that is pourous(sp?) I don't know if that is why or not though.
