My Instant Ocean is hard as a rock. Could I still use it?

Hello. I personally wouldn't. That means moisture has gotten into it.

Edit: It probably wouldn't hurt anything, but the crystallization of it would make me uncomfortable with using it. I put a pampered chef chip clip on my bag. Keeps the air out.

Second edit: Okay, just researched online. It says it is okay to use - just check the salinity :) Sometimes you have to use more or less IO.

Sorry for all of the edits! I'm a better safe than sorry person! ;)

Its fine. It just moisture in the air has caused it to bind together. Its fine, can be a little hard to break apart but otherwise its good to go. Minerals do not get lost.
