whats left in the airstill -? use

Was wondering while throwing away the liquid thats left in the still if it could be collected and put through the still, not to use for drinking but to use as windscreen antifreeze - anyone know if it could be used for that?

probably could, but if you think about it, the element in the anti-freeze/screen wash that stops it freezing etc is the alcohol - so you\'d have to replace that with meths, and probably either some soap/detergent or vinegar (or both, as I understand that the mix that the \"squeegy boys\" use is 25% dish washing soap, 25% vinegar and 50% water - the soap cleans, the vinegar helps to remove streaking marks and the water element helps with the rinse and keeping the cost down of the cleaning liquid).
Given the very nature of a turbo sugar wash, there\'s not gonna be a lot left in it after it\'s been through the still anyway.
