I have just mixed up a 5% mix of methanol to wfp water and the tds remained the same...gave it a jolly good mix and put it on the Freedom trolley and away I went...
Well the water hit the glass and I could hear a crunchy sound within seconds...the water was freezing instantly...
So I put another 5% in...now 10% total again TDS remained 000 and gave the back door and side glass a go..well that seems to have done the trick..just waiting for them to dry a little...oh and pure water just freezes on impact.
I also did the front door and front window which is on the sunny side and this seems to be drying well and looking good....but working in -5 well I do not think I will do that for my customers....looking at this all now...I think that theses additives are good for -2 and -3 nights and temps that rise during the day...but continued -5 to -12 nights and continued -2 to -6 days..well I shall continue to squirrel money away during the year soley to tide me over....plus the snow we have had here has just not been able to thaw and for the most part the surrouding floor around my house is ice.
The outside temp -5.7 and the pure water before the mixing was 10deg, the inside temp in my house is 21 deg.
I have also left the freedom trolly outside just to see what happens to the pole, brush etc.
Will update in half an hour....note to self..I promise to get a life at some stage this year

ps..Ftp your bang on the money re have it all good and mixed..simply pour the IPA or Methanol in will not serve any great purpose... oh and you'll need greater concentrations of IPA as well.
So if anyone is thinking of using IPA or something similar don't bother with 20l tubs...go to a proper chemical dealer and order by the 205l barrals. It will be cheaper too.
