You could get some silicone and put it in a dish soap bath until it is firm enough to handle and wrap it around a clone collar and wait for it to cure. Cut it in half and you have a clone collar mold, lube it and fill with silicone and tape together and wait to cure.
Reusable silicone collars
Option 2
Use flex seal in same process
With your intelligence and your avatar you remind me of Hamilton MorrisThere are many side reactions that will take place owing mostly to the agressiveness of the O-Cl moiety.
From the wiki (my annotations in braces [ ] ):
Calcium hypochlorite reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate and release dichlorine monoxide:
[This reaction will occur]
Ca(ClO)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + Cl2O↑
A calcium hypochlorite solution is basic. This basicity is due to the hydrolysis performed by the hypochlorite ion, as hypochlorous acid is weak, but calcium hydroxide is a strong base. As a result, the hypochlorite ion is a strong conjugate base, and the calcium ion is a weak conjugate acid:
ClO- + H2O → HClO + OH−
Similarly, calcium hypochlorite reacts with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water and chlorine:
Ca(OCl)2 + 4 HCl → CaCl2 + 2 H2O + 2Cl2
[This is essentially the reverse process for how the hypochlorites are produced, which is an equilibrium reaction:
Cl2 + H2O ⇌ HClO + HCl
Cl2 + 4 OH− ⇌ 2 ClO− + 2 H2O +2e
Cl2 + 2 e− ⇌ 2 Cl− ]
End Wiki quote-----------
The answer is essentially that all of this crap will be around.
The primary interplay here is as follows:
The hypochlorite salt will not be entirely soluble. So you have an equilibrium dependency there, it will prefer harder water to go into solution. Once dissolved, there is a second equilibrium that is established relative to the pH of the solution.
At 7.53 pH (pKa of hypochlorous acid) there will be 50% ClO and 50% HClO in the solution.
Now, both species are very reactive along their own pathways--and depending on what else is around that they can scavenge the equilibrium will be pushed in one direction or the other. So if the HClO is able to perform more side reactions the end result is that the equilibrium will favor that side and vice versa.
The resulting species will then go on to affect pH. When you're done you end up with a chemical soup of chlorinated species depending on exactly where you started and what was in your water in the first place.
It should be getting clearer and clearer why this stuff is bad for microorganisms and molecules that stain. It literally rips them apart via oxidative and reductive processes.
I read a thread where you and the permaclone guy were in a heated discussion, lol.Hypochlorite is hypochlorous acid by just adding water. PH of that water only effects the concentration of that hypochlorous acid.
However, I can see you want do go down with your ship. Maybe A website like maxiumyield will find this thread more useful
It's hard to recommend a method for making hypochlorous acid from unknown water. I wouldn't recommend tap.
I'll put it in jargon, and if you're a chemist, you can map it out.
Buffer RO water to a pH such that upon the addition of alkaline hypochlorite salts the pH lands around 6.0. Further, I'd recommend buffereing you cloner rez to pH 6.0.
Even as a chemist I'm like, fuck that! ...just use hypochlorite at their effective strengths.
0.5 - 2 ppm when exposed to roots
OR
4 ppm for water treatment (particularly if you're on a well)
Man, I hate feeling like an antagonistic, but my manual stays the same.
I got a good, simple recipe with hypochlorite salts and it works well and it's standard dosages. Tested over-and-over again by me and TONS of customers.

Hi, thanks for topic, how much need to dilute if I have 10-12% Sodium hypochlorite NaOCL 10,8% active chlorine ? Thank youIt's hard to recommend a method for making hypochlorous acid from unknown water. I wouldn't recommend tap.
