The easiest way to do this is to fill a 5 gallon pail with non-toxic

Pink stuff - as in plumbing ant-freeze? I think I have something on that

Use automotive anti freeze which is better for aluminium and the
different metals than domestic plumbing stuff.


Which is also toxic and illegal. Use the non-toxic kind. Walmart has
it in the RV section.

Where do you get the Propylene Glycol? That's what is
used in fog machines.

Also has been used as a a food additive.

It's normally what's labeled "non toxic" anti-freeze.
