I finally ended up going with Espoma which is listed as dolomite on back of package, it was much more expensive for the amount but I got tired of trying to figure it all out so figured better safe than sorry. I purchased several bags as I am making loads of potting mix this year.

This is the stuff that will take the skin off of you and also what they use to make hominy.
Makes cement and stucco pliable to a degree.
