Okay, of course it will. But, will it freeze at say.. 10 to 15 deg F?

We just realized that was one item we left on the boat for the winter that should have come home. Thing is, if it is going to freeze, it's already done so. The main question is, "will the bottle burst?"

Ah well, missing the boat terribly....... :(( snow and ice on the roads suck!

Hope everyone is getting through their winter without too much issue!

In Chattanooga? y'all must be at a stand still. What's in that solution? It will burst if there's no room for it to expand, i.e full bottle.

Lotsa schools and roads shut down, yes!

Yeah, the bottle is full (new). I suppose we need to get to the boat and retrieve the leftovers while its still very cold. Might just prevent a a seeping around the boat if we get it while still frozen.

Will follow-up this weekend.... Thanks!

Ok, QC, thought about starting it there, but wasn't sure.

Got to the boat to find major ice in the marina, not thick to walk on, but totally confirming how cold it is.

So, the bottle of Thetford solution was NOT frozen! Much to our surprise and relief, it was certainly well below 32 F, but not close to being frozen. Meaning, it wasn't even slush, just very cold liquid.

WHEW!
