So I've been useing kool mist thru a mister for a little while mixing at 5ozs per gal. Instructions say 4-6 ozs per gal and noticed some rust inside the T slots.
I figured I better pull the vice and take a look under it and D#%^*m what a mess ,green goo and rust, on the table and vice base.
I cleaned things best I could with stone and scotch bride but they are still stained where the rust was .
So far every thing I do on the mill is with the vice , so what to do ,pull the vice after each use with kool mist,
Run straight kool mist , ( no more h2o on mill) Ied run wd40 thru it but don't want to get blowed up.
So vice is still off but needing to go back on ,wondering what to do about keeping tools cool without rusting things up ?.
Kool mist will be getting a few choice words from me, wish companies would make things that actually do what they say they will.
Sorry for the rant but what to do ?.

Formula "77" - like Formula "78" - will not cause dermatitis, ancidity, or buildup: and creates no rust or corrosion when diluted with clean water. Workpieces and machine parts remain clean and unstained.
Dose that mean use distilled water ?.
