The building where I work recently began purchasing sidewalk deicing salt in boxes of 50 pounds. Inside the box the salt is contained in a light plastic bag. It appears to me that this setup is used for some kind of automation - a salt spreader of some kind.

I need to get the salt into small barrels and was wondering if there is a tap of some kind that can be used to "drain" it. Remember the old oil cans and the piercing spout driven into the can's top? Something like that. I've done the google thing and can find nothing. It would be nice if it had some way to stop the flow also. I never need 50 pounds.

Thanks


PS - This group used to be really nice - no spam. Is there an alternative moderated site that one can use? Especially the OT guy - seems lonely, posts all day....

Probably be better off just cutting the corner with a razor or
scissors. Never saw what you're looking for.
