Urea from Agway sounds like just the ticket for keeping the front step
clear. What's it like when tracked into the house?

(Sorry for dragging this OT, but rock salt is hateful stuff on the
lawn and in the front hall.)

I have owned airplanes for almost 30 years and I have always used regular
old Calcium Chloride from Walmart, etc. I never knew that it was forbidden.

I live in New England. The highways are salted somewhat in the winter and
at 70 mph, my car gets covered with salt and the car rusts, as everybody
knows. You don't want an old car from New England.

I don't taxi out of my hangar at 70 mph, believe it or not, so the CaCl does
not splash up on to the airplane. After 30 years, I have not noticed any
corrosion problems at all. U-m-m-m Maybe I'm just naive.
