I'm not sure why 3 lbs was used, but it may have been because that was the amount necessary to maintain a consistently high toxic level for the requisite amount of time.Creation Care Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096774491277223713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497004104272690197.post-581741157957406972014-01-02T15:48:59.032-06:002014-01-02T15:48:59.032-06:00Unless I miscalculated somewhere, 3 pounds of dry ...Unless I miscalculated somewhere, 3 pounds of dry ice will produce about 180 gallons of CO2 gas at standard pressure and temperature. In a 42 gallon bag, that will force it to leak considerably. Wouldn't you want to use a quantity closer to the volume of empty space so that the air still becomes mostly CO2 but the bag doesn't break?Karlnoreply@blogger.com
