OK to use 5 gallon non-toxic anti-freeze pails for sap?
I have some new 5 gallon pails that contained non-toxic anti freeze and was wondering if I can use them to gather sap, etc. They are propylene glycol cryo-tek-100 buckets with corrosion inhibitors from Hercules. Should they be washed out with anything special beyond hot water and soap?
Anybody done this before? Results?
thanks, Peter
