RE: [TCML] Dry Ice

[Yurtle Turtle <yurtle_t@xxxxxxxxx>]

No one was suggesting that we pour the water into our
toploads. However, everytime I've played with dry ice
in a bowl of water, it would spit out drops of water
as it boiled away. I was simply warning that this low
pH water "may" pit the soft aluminum used in spun
toroids. I don't know for sure. I do know that several
of my toploads are pitted from bird crap, from birds
trying to nest in my garage.
