Now how did an MU-2 Pilot get so interested in ICE??

Alcohol will work fine but propylene glycol will stay on longer and melt
any
snow that falls between the time you spray it on and the time you takeoff.
Don't use ethylene glycol. It is toxic and you could get into trouble
deliberately leaving puddles of it on the ramp.

It probably would not have sublimated on climb out, sublimation takes
a
long
time. You might want to consider filling your garden sprayer with
RV-type
antifreeze as a deicing solution in the winter.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Question on the garden sprayer:
I usually have one filled with 90% solution of isopropyl alcohol
(didn't that nigt) from the drug store. Any reason this isn't a
feasible deicing solution to use if I were departing, say, in daytime?
