1 part water to 2 parts glycol. I think others use varying ratios so apparently its not an exact thing. May depend on just how cold its going to get.

What kind of "antifreeze" are you talking about? Are you talking about it with reference as an additive to your bait formula, or as a function to keep your dirt sets from freezing?

Yotepinner, I mix mine 50-50 and it works. On subzero nights it'll let my peat/coverhull mixture get a little crusty (not enough to bother the trap)though. This season I'm going to up the mix to 1/3 water to 2/3 glycol and see if the eliminates the crust. I don't need to. I just want to try something new I guess.
