sold 310 -- now what?

I've never had a problem getting TKS fluid. It comes in 55gal drums, and I
keep the tank in the plane full in the winter and also keep some extra jugs
in the nose in case I need a refill on the road. A lot of FBO's carry it as
well, since some jets such as Challengers also use TKS.

It does make a slimy slippery mess on the hangar floor.Using a mop only
pushes it around. I catch the overflow from filling in a garden sprayer and
then spray it on the plane to deice as added protection.

In many respects yes, but in a few no. As far as keeping ice off the
airframe TKS is the best, better even than heated leading edges (which
can
suffer from "run-back icing"). TKS is clearly better in large droplet
icing, at least for the surfaces with TKS, everything else is still a
problem. The downsides of TKS are weight of the fluid and making a mess
in
the hanger.

Isn't it also a bit of a hassle finding replacement fluid?
