**Just a safety note- propylene glycol (as opposed to ethylene glycol) is not typically dangerous to humans. In fact it's commonly used in food and eyedrops. However... exercise proper judgement. Not knowing the particular concentration and exact contents of the coolant, I used safety glasses because I didn't want to be the first reviewer that discovered that the coolant had an adverse impact on FPS perception.
