Hello fellow GMCers...
I'm another newbie and this is my first post. I just finished
winterizing yesterday, so today I noticed it says "for use only in plastic pipes" on the jug of pink stuff. Is ethanol bad for copper? What Should I do? Please help, as the thought of
re-plumbing this old transmode about scares me to death!

Corwin,

I have five jugs of potable system antifreeze in stock. Two are (were as is about gone), propylene glycol based, but the three newer (ACE Hardware on sale) are all labeled as containing denatured (not for drinking) alcohol. Those say Caution - Flamible- but they also say good for plastic or copper plumbing.
