Default RE: Rubbing Alcohol

Cheers,

I love the quote about the pharmacopoeia(s) I work as a Analytical Chemist so they are my bible!! I looked in there but couldnt imagine using watered down isopropyl to thin glue down (what the brits call 70% IMS - industrial methylated spirit) There is too much jargon in those books to make any sense of, then add the french and Japanese versions into the mix and its just extracting the urine!!

I have access to all of these mentioned above, so form what I gather, for thinning epoxy : Acetone is top dog
How about cleaning up epoxy after making a join? Would acetone remove colour from the film or casue other damage? Would real rubbing alcohol be better on this case?

Thanks for your thorough and quick responses.

Ben
