Depends on what kind of "anti-freeze" you use. I would not recommend
Ethylene Glycol because it is toxic and I would agree with what that
person said in the case of EG. However, there is a safe anti-freeze
called Propylene Glycol. It is used to keep pipes in RV's, trailers
and seasonal cabins from bursting in the winter. It is safe, its in
tooth paste (keep that in mind when the local news does an expose to
frighten people, "We find your toothpaste contains antifreeze,
details at 11", one of the local stations did that a couple of years
ago) and regulated by the FDA as a food coloring or something. I
just don't know how good of a lube it would make since I don't have
any experience with it, other than we use it in the chilled water
systems at the base I work at.

Oops, update. Someone told me not to use Anti-freeze. This can
cause all sorts of health type problems, and may also cause
rust. :)
Please disregard the following sentence in the previous message.
Thanks.
