Garland Gray II inscribed in red ink for all to know:
I'm just going to throw this out for comments:
Regarding antifreeze, I have read that soaking dried and cracked wood in the
regular old "green" antifreeze (glycerine ?)would actually restore the wood
to its former glory.
Is this true for the pink stuff (which of course would safer as it is non
toxic) ?

If you get hung up, pour as much RV antifreeze around in the bilge as you
can. That is non-toxic propylene glycol and it will not hurt the wood at
all.





I think you are attempting to distinguish between ethylene glycol
(toxic) and propylene glycol (less toxic) by the color of the dye added
by the manufacturer. Don't do this... There is no dye standard
enforced by anyone. Instead, read the label and look for either
ethylene glycol or propylene glocol.
