Propylene Glycol - Just received 1 Quart shipped from Amazon

[Nifty]

After reading a bunch of posts about Propylene Glycol I finally decided to pick some up. All the places around here wanted $20 - $30 for a bottle of the stuff, so off to Amazon I went. 1 Quart (more than I'll ever use) for $14.75 and free shipping!

A few of my favorite threads that discuss the use of Propylene Glycol in cleaning solutions:

While propylene glycol is classified as an alcohol, it's not his favorite one. The Hat's favorite drop not only keeps his insides clean but preserved as well, if you know what I mean.

You guys down under sure have a different take on what's popular, like that bit about peeing on everything. Wassup wit dat?

It does taste sweet and is more like glycerol/lgycerine (used in cosmetics and even in ice cream to lower freezing point) and is...potable unlike diethylene glycol (a dangerous poison).

I've got so much of this stuff now, I'm thinking about experimenting. I've been trying to find other uses that don't involve perfume, cigars, or e-cigarettes.

Any ideas on how to increase viscosity (make thicker) without changing the taste and keeping it at room temp?

Yes use ice instead of water.
Much nicer..

Hey Rob......if you need anymore propylene glycol, you can buy it at most any auto parts store under the brand name "SIERRA" Antifreeze/Coolant.

It is non-toxic.................MSDS link follows...................

Most RV/Marine antifreeze is propylene glycol.

PRESTONE even sells a product called LOW TOX !

Don't drink it.........unless you need a GOOD cleanout !

Except that it contains 1 to 3% proprietary additives, like water pump lubricant, and maybe a fluorescent dye.
