Sure. Blame it on the Magic because you are too cheap to buy a pump and pump it :wink I have sprayed frozen piles with it and loosened them up with no problems.... But then again I didn't dump a barrel. The good news is that it will all wash off with plain water and no staining, no harm no foul.

You are plowing for the state correct? Do they cover any of that?

thawing out a sander

not sure how this will work with salt bu i have done this a time or two with a fsander with sand frozen in it i have used the steam cleaner/hot water presure washer and used the soap setting on it and ran hot water into the sander onto the frozen sand it work thawed them out in about 10-15 minutes but you got to be careful where ya let the water run since it will freeze and don't suggest doing this at a drive thru car wash they may call the law on you and once you thaw it out run it empty asap and get it all out so it won't refreeze

UPDATE
Left truck in 45 degree shop for a few days, mainly cause I didnt give a crap, went in the morning and took a 5 foot pinch bar to break up the salt and almost blew it through the bottom of the V-box!
Salt was loose and fluffy again! Wow and just a few days ago it was a rock.
Another saga over this week, now I have to look at Hot dog carts and places in Fla.:D

Spilt my :drinkup everywhere.......That was hilarious. Should haved sprayed some :ff before your last line.........:popcorn2

Bill, Do you have a tarping system on the truck? if so order a asphalt tarp. there aren't that expensive. They are water proof and they are easy to put on and off. Works great.
