Band Saw cutting fluid

[ME87]

I picked up a Jet 7X12 Bandsaw a while back and now I'm getting around to fixing the coolant system on it. Since this is in my home shop and won't be getting used often, does anyone have any suggestions to cutting fluids that won't grow mold after a few weeks? I've done a bit of research and it seems the Saw-Zit 2000 stuff might be what I need. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I recommend that you forgo the coolant in your little home use saw. It's not worth the problems it causes in a non production environment, VS the good it can do in the production shop. ie. the mess, cost, disposal, clean up, and the maintenance, VS the _SLIGHT_ increases in cutting speed and blade/band life.
