Blue Antifreeze Question


Featured Posts

Hi. 

 

Quick question...A few weeks back I spilled some blue Antifreeze inside a wooden cupboard...I believe I got most of it out.

 

But today the cupboard base as still damp..... There are other possible leak sources in there but I suspect the Antifreeze I lost still to be damp....

 

Is this possible

Though water based and diluted blue antifreeze is ethaline glycol, it does not just evaporate as it is oily.  Try soaking it out with rice, sawdust, even newspaper. It will take weeks.

White spirit may dilute it a bit and make it soak into something quicker.

I filled my expansion/ overflow tank for the central heating system just a little bit too much a few months ago.

When I put my central heating on after, it spilled out inside a bedroom cupboard, it took about 4 weeks to absorb, evaporate even with the use of paper towelling on untreated wooden shelving.

That's exactly what I did .....Kind of suggests why I can't find a leak whe I first looked .... Stupid Webesto header has a hole about half way up at the back .... just why I don't know ?

Thank you all 

 

I "think" now leak  is an  antifreeze overfill issue ....
