I'm glad you got to use your P-50 Anthony, but sorry to hear about the mushroom cloud.
Sorry about the Mushroom Cloud?

I'm laughing cause I've been there!

The toxic ingredient in antifreeze is ethylene glycol. Not to be confused with Propylene glycol, which is commonly use in cosmetics and in small amounts in food or with ethyl alcohol which some of us have been known to consume (in small quantities of course).
Immediately after ethylene glycol ingestion. Animals show signs similar to alcohol intoxication; nausea and vomiting often are present. Large overodses may cause acute death. Animals also may also have increased water consumption and urination. Later the toxic metabolites may depress the central nervous systemand/or depress the respiratory system. Therefore, affected animals may be sleepy during this first stage of toxicosis and the owners may not notice an impending problem.
12 to 24 hours after ingestion of ethylene glycol the pet may have increased heart rate and respiration, the majority of owners rarely notice these signs of toxicosis.
The final stage is renal failure occurs 24-72 hours after ingestion of ethylene glycol. By the point the renal tubules are damaged and the pet is in renal failure. The pet is depressed may be vomiting or have neurological symptoms. This damage is slow to heal if it does so at all and pets usually die before kidney function begins to return. Iv fluids and if availabel dialysis are essential to survival.
If noted early enough there are measures your veterinarian can take to prevent this course so if you know your pet has consumed antifreeze contact them immediately.

The antifreeze must be working as an anti-oxidant, which in some way or another prevents the steel from combining oxygen with the iron content. It probably also prevents oxidation in a wide range of metals. Also, does viscosity have something to do with a quench? I remember reading somewhere where some folks use liquid detergent in the quench to make it "wetter." Perhaps the antifreeze is acting like a detergent making the water, wetter? Damn, it has been to many years since college chemistry.

I can't believe I haven't thought of putting ant-freeze in my dunk bucket to stop it from freezing in the winter. :34:
Glad to hear it has other positive qualities too!
Laurence,
After trying this at your shop the other day, I used antifreeze in my dunk bucket. One big thing I noticed was after dunking my 1095 blades, I am not getting any rust on the blades after they sit over night !
