In the first place, when you buy those
LARGE buckets, don’t use out of the large bucket. Find you a small
container (like a kitchen food container) with a tight lid. Transfer
enough for a ride of two into that and keep the original bucket tightly sealed.
Having it get “crusty” is not harmful,
any more than having your sugar bowl get that way. The problem is
measuring and using it. This happened to me once. After some
experimentation, when I needed to use some, just took out a “chunk”
to use, broke it up with a hammer, then ran it through an old coffee grinder.
That gives you a powder, which although a little grainy, dissolves as readily
as the normal stuff and you can scoop it the same way.

I have a big bucket of Perform 'N Win which lost its lid on a
particularly windy day in the back of my truck. The salt must've absorbed
moisture from the air, because all of it is now moist and gunky.. is there
still hope to salvage what's left? I've been leaving it in the sun to dry
out and it doesn't seem to be making too much progress. Should I chuck
the bucket (3/4 full, $80!)?
