Hey Randy
Yes…just plain old Anti-Freeze…but I do buy the kind that says Green…or something like that.
THAT said…I don’t know if it’s poisonous…but I’m not going to drink it. It should say all that on the bottle.
Next…I switched to using SW Hotline. It dries quickly…even in cool weather.
You may get more jobs in that way.
Next…there is Acetone too…from SW…you can use it even later in the Season. BUT…Acetone is a stripper. If you let it sit inside your machine…overnight…( some people…like me…DO NOT clean their machines regularly )…the Acetone in the Acetone paint will have a chance to dissolve the old residue paint inside your lines…etc…and those pieces will clog the tip…over and over again.
You decide.
Next…when I spray Hotline I use a .023 Tip. It sprays well.
I’m not sure if that tip is big enough to allow the little pieces that the Acetone would loosen…through. Maybe it would.
Again…any of this will lengthen your season. Let me know how things work out…and…
Do not drink anything I mentioned…!
Keep in touch.
