I tried the car glycol, not really that good (it freezes ) compared to the real glycol made for the job.Works out just a bit more expensive but well worth the money.

I have some food grade glycol here that I am not using. I have 20 litres overall. 6 litres is mixed with water at a 3:1 ratio and the rest is not mixed down. I'm happy to part with all or any of it. It cost me $10 per litre. If anyone is interested just PM me with an offer.Anyone know where to buy glycol and how much? Anyone got a watercooling rig for their PC they don't want?
Thanks.
For under $100, couldn't a secondhand fridge and a fridgemate be a better option??
you want a fan in the duct work to assist in your air supply. it wont just fall out.(see the link I posted on page1)Hey Guys, I did some more testing last night...
It seems there is no doubt that a return air pipe is needed. I disconnected the air pipe from the coolroom and held my hand at the end to see how much air and how cold it was.... There was hardly anything blowing down and it was by no means cold. I opened the door to the freezer a crack and whoosh... cold air started really coming out of the pipe.
The only thing I am not sure about now is if I should put the return air pipe back into the freezer or go the easier option and put it back into the side of the fridge.
I'm thinking it will have to go back into the freezer, as I did another quick test by closing the freezer again but opening the fridge door to simulate the return air, and I was back to getting hardly any air out of my pipe again, suggesting to me there is no connection between the fridge and the freezer.
Is it true of all fridge/freezers that they are in somewhay connected internally for air flow/cooling? This fridge is pretty old I think... I'd say mid 80's or so.
Thanks,

Most fridge/freezers are not interconnected. So if you want your return into the fridge you will need to drill a hole from the fridge into the freezer. I personally would not bother, just go with a return line into the freezer. also don't forget you will need frozen bottles or something in the freezer.
everyone keeps saying you can get 2nd hand fridges/freezers for free and super cheap and stuff. 3 years of scouring ebay and freecycle, I ended up driving into the heart of sydney to pick one up I won on ebay (finally) for the cheapest I'd seen yet, and that was $300 for a 30 year old vulcan 300L. It's dead now.
