Source for heat treating salt materials

Hey Everyone

I'm thinking about switching over to salt tanks for heat treating. I have some recipes for the salts from the Bladesmith's Forum i would use. I have no idea where to look for some of this stuff- where would I go to find Sodium Nitrite, Potassium Nitrate, and Potassium Chloride? I think I can find Sodium Chloride.

For that matter, is making my own salts more trouble than it's worth? If so, where is a good place to find high & low temp salts?

Thanks
Dave Armour
