lichen preserved with antifreeze

Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, a different, and highly poisonous, compound.

And for inveterate hams noted for chewing up the scenery, that might be a real drawback.

ts:

I don't think I'd use regular ethylene glycol antifreeze, which as Wolf notes is toxic. I think _propylene glycol_ RV plumbing antifreeze could have possibilities. Museums use propylene glycol to preserve wooden artifacts. Propylene glycol is nontoxic. I'd stick to the preparations sold for plumbing systems; I have seen and used propylene glycol antifreeze which is sold as engine coolant, but that has corrosion inhibitors added, which could be poisonous.

worth a try at $ 4 thanks for the suggestion Gerard

Please don't use antifreeze. China needs it as an ingredient for the toothpaste they manufacture.

They won't have a problem with supply now that Austria and Italy aren't using it to sweeten wine anymore.
