I'm realy going to go for it. I just bought a bottle of car SCREENWASH. (not engine anti-freeze) Iv'e used this before and it works. 50/50 solution should work in hot water. I don't need much as i use bottle on a belt system. Smiley

Just been outside for a look and not looking forward to trying to work tomorrow. Van is under a heap of frosted snow, pavements are a bloody ice rink, roads still loaded with snow. All the houses and their windows are covered in ice or frosty snow as well. Got an oil filled radiator in the van but I just know my jets will soon freeze, my hose will be an ice magnet, a percentage of the windows will definately freeze.
Dont know if Iv got it in me to be honest. Really want to work the money would be handy but starting to think about giving it all a miss untill the temp has risen again.

cant see me doing much wfp though. got a heater in the van and the hoses are still frozen and the ground is like an ice rink so even the ladders will be dodgy. oh well maybe the temp will rise above zero Cry

could always go salting paths for old ones

Use Methanol.  A Cleaning Solution with about 30% of it methanol will prevent any of the solution freezing.  Use Wagga's bottle on a belt system so you can use your solution sparingly, and prevent your hands from getting wet
