I've come across posts in the past saying that it could be done with saline solution and epsom salt but I'm not sure if it's true. I'm running low on my fecasol and was wondering if there was a way I could make my own solution in bulk?

Yes I was actually just doing some research on this. To make your own flotation solution you must use epson salt and put some of it in a jar that has a lid that closes tightly. Then add water 2/3 of the way and shake it up to dissolve the salt. Add more salt after shaking it and shake again. Over a 24 hour period, keep adding more Epson Salt and shaking until you have a permanent layer of Epson Salt in the bottom of the jar. No more Epson Salt will dissolve in the water. You now have a saturated Epson Salt floatation solution. Pour off the solution into another jar, leaving behind the non-dissolved Epson Salt grains.
