I've been using Rustlic only because that's what a friend of mine uses on his Haas machines, and a little bit of concentrate goes a long way in a fogbuster.

The main reason I'm asking is because when it dries, it seems a bit "sticky".

I'm just wondering if there is a better choice, or if anyone has had issues with Rustlic with their Tormach?

For a FogBuster, KoolMist works wonderfully, and leaves no residue whatsoever. A gallon of concentrate, costing about $23, will last literally years.

What mix ratio do you use with your FogBuster and KoolMist coolant? I built a Fogbuster a couple months back but have not got around to ordering coolant. I was thinking of buying a jug of olive oil but your idea sounds more likely to succeed.

Thanks,

I just mix 32:1, as recommended on the bottle. Some people go slightly higher concentration, but I never saw the need. 32:1 seems to be enough to be effective as a corrosion inhibitor, so I need no benefit to using more.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I just ordered a gallon of it from a local distributor.

I do contract programming for a shop that used Rustlic products for a long time. I have used Blazocut 2000 in my machines since about 1993.

When I got to the shop to do some contracting, the owner told me about some skin irritation his operator was experiencing and when I looked at the slimy film that was left on the machine by Rustlic produce, I told him that could be the cause. He asked what I reccomended and I told him what I use so he bought some and the kids irritation cleared up within a couple of weeks.

I use ONLY coolist products in my FogBuster. I tried the Blazers when I first started using FogBuster, but the parafin in the cooland just plugged up the orifices.
