Here is a little story that will make the decision very easy for you.
As most of you know I'm a retired airline pilot, and a bunch of years ago a
bunch of us had to take new "company physicals" from the new takeover
company (American Airlines). One of our pilots had trouble passing the
physical; the doc. said he had something "wrong" with his blood and to go
have tests taken (on his dime). Bottom line, he had glycol in his blood!
Turns out his truck had a small leak in the heater (hardly noticeable he
said). Turns out glycol does damage to you internal organs, the doc. told
him "if you so much as smell glycol it can damage your internal organs"!! I
know we all have been drenched in the stuff in the past. I now am very
carful of my exposure to the stuff.
My advice is to throw the pad and carpet away! With gloves!

> Two separate issues, but similar ... on one of my tigers the clutch master
cylinder leaked a bunch of fluid soaking my carpet/padding, and on another
tiger, the heater core blew a leak soaking my carpets/padding with coolant.
on both, the padding under the carpet seems to have absorbed most of the
fluid. Ive pulled the carpets out, but the saturated padding and carpet
doesnt seem to dry at all, at least in the last week or so it hasnt. Whats
the best way to dry these out, or will they never really dry given we are
talking brake fluid and antifreeze? I guess i can wash out with water to
displace the fluid, at least in the case of the coolant and then let air
dry?
any other ideas? use a wet/dry vac to suck out the fluids so theyll dry?
or
get new paddings and toss the saturated ones?
