keeping glue in your car

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Carol,
The antifreeze would not freeze but that does not mean any thing else that
could would not freeze. Antifreeze works by lowering the freezing temp of
the things that are mixed with it. A bottle of water in a container of
antifreeze would still freeze at 32 %
