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. Mike MU-2 "smackey" wrote in message ... "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message thlink.net... 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. Mike MU-2 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? |
