I just scored a coolmate 4 to pair up with my dynasty and I'm wondering what you guys with water cooled tigs use for coolant. I like the idea of the the miller/weldcraft approved coolant, I just don't like the idea of $30 a gallon when the cooler has a 4-gallon capacity......
Will the miller coolant mix with distilled water?
Any alternatives?
Thanks for the input guys!
