Not sure but I think there is a Helath and Safety issue with regard to using antifreeze for trad etc.

get three small cups and fill 3/4 with water then add antifreeze to one vodka to one and screen wash to the other and stick them in the freezer,check after 2 hrs and then 4 hrs and you will see which one is best to keep water from freezing.














I use Vodka don't need much only a glass in a bucket of warm water.
