Branded borax? It's a mineral, coming out of the same mines no matter what brand you buy.

- lotsofpulp 4y agoI do not have the equipment or expertise required to confirm it. So I rely on a combination of a reputable businesses who would care to verify it is whatever percent and quality borax it should be because they (presumably) have something to lose if it comes out that it is not.
- cogman10 4y agoYou'd think. But really the issue is that you can't trust that you are actually getting borax and not something completely different (and cheaper).
- bombcar 4y ago2 mule borex- 10% genuine borax and 90% drywall mud dust.
- kevin_b_er 4y agoand how do you know its actually Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O? How much filler did the 3rd party seller add? How much of the filler is toxic or will react in unexpected ways? At least if I bought walmart borax from a brick&mortar walmart, I generally expect it to be all borax. 3rd party reseller? Even that's not guaranteed. If the seller is caught, they'll just disappear and another will fill its place. It is all snake oil salesmen wearing masks and unless you get a lab test on everything you order, you'll get burned one day.
