Preventing water freezing on the glass
« on: March 04, 2010, 08:48:24 pm »
When using the 'trad' method, can anyone recommend how to stop the water freezing on the glass? I'm starting early tomorrow and I need a quick solution (no pun intended). I haven't got any rubbing alcohol. Has anyone tried adding salt to the water?

I tried screenwash learlier this year to no avail - it still instantly froze.
Thanks in advance.

Blimey - it's not that cold is it? Unless Glen you are working in a Scottish Glen! (Groan)

Use some halfords screen wash in a three parts water to one part screenwash mix. Should be good for -4.

Thats the answer, not the one you want to hear probably but if its that cold give up. Stay in and watch rubbish on the TV.
