PG vs PEG

Jasonw560 · 07-26-2011, 05:06 PM

I've been trying to get some PG for my tupperdor without having to spend 20 bucks at Tractor Supply on a gallon of the stuff, just to throw most of it out.

I just off the phone with a pharmacist, who told me PG and PEG (polyethylene glycol) are the same thing.

Any chemists (or chemistry buffs) here who can give me a definitive answer? I've looked at wikipedia, and used my google-fu, and all I see is that they're chemically similar.

So, should I go get some MiraLax and mix that with my distilled water? Or try to find a smaller amount of PG? My spidey sense is tingling on this one.
