Jet Mech...You can use rubbing alcohol. I should have mentioned when selecting Rubbing Alcohol, that it doesn't contain coloring additives, and/or, fragrance oils.


or...a quote from the uses of Isopropyl Alcohol:

"Isopropyl alcohol is cheaply available. Like acetone, it dissolves a wide range of nonpolar compounds. It is also relatively nontoxic and dries quickly. Thus it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid (by dissolving lipophilic contaminants such as oil). Examples of this use include cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape deck and floppy disk drive heads, the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g. CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from CPUs."

goirish...Three Fingers of Bourbon will do the "Job" quite well!


With three fingers of bourbon who cares what it looks like. Instead of walking backwards I would be flying backwards.
