## Questions & Answers

**Q: Isn't this 25 cents an ounce? The listing says $2.50 an ounce.**
A: I get the 10 lbs for $39.99 and it works out to be .25 an ounce.  It was probably just a typo in the listing.

**Q: Item description says 10lb, product info says 2lb. 2 or 10? Terrible price of only 2lb, seems shifty to me.**
A: Yes it’s 2lb each bottle and they send you 5 bottles, so 10lb total.

**Q: The advert is slightly misleading....is the total weight 2 lbs or 10 lbs?**
A: Each bottle is 2 lbs. (32oz.)

**Q: Is this Flakes or beads?**
A: Very fine beads. Does cause lye dust when pours from the container and you may need to wear a mask.
