Do you know what is in Sparkalloid? I'm very hesitant to use
"proprietary"
products with "secret" ingredients. They may work fine (pun not intended),
but I don't want (e.g.) clam shells and possum guts in my wine, even if I
can't taste it. At least I know what's in bentonite, egg whites, tea, and
oak.


Sparkalloid (Scott Labs) and Klearmore are polysaccharides on diatomaceous
earth carriers. In solution, they are positively charged, and both are
relatively benign fining materials.
