Hi Steven,

The simplest method of testing for your use, is to mix small test batchs, ie; test vials, pint jars with tight lids, etc;, then mix the ratio wanted/stated and throw the test vial in the freezer over night.

You will quickly see the results. If the fluid is liquid at freezer temps then you have accomplished your goal! You will also see what seperates and what doesn't. I've expelled alot of myths using this method. Alot of products don't do what they claim on the label.

Another method is letting the test vial set outside over night. Do not set test vials in snow/ice as snow/ice is a insulator lower than 32ºf. You can quickly lower a substance temps, maximum 32ºf, by putting the test in a crushed ice/water bath.

Try several mixes (label them) at the same time as then you can see what strengths works for your area.

Alot of the additives are very dangerous to humans and pets, so use extreame caution while handling them, as in using chemical rated gloves.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
