Bill, et al:
If you obtain the alcohol from your local pharmacist, you can get 99-percent
isopropyl. It "cuts" infinitely better than the off-the-shelf 90-percent
stuff. It lasts longer, too, as you don't need as much. I find it useful for
cleaning small parts, instrument faceplates, and plastic. Wearing rubber
mechanic's gloves takes care of the skin poisoning issue.

Yes, 70% - 90% rubbing alcolhol is flammable. And it does have a flame
which is light blue and hard to immediately spot. And it should be used
in a ventilated area, as should all solvents. If you read the label
closely their is usually a few-word warning. However I've never
experienced an alcohol massage or bath in the hospital wherein a nurse
stood by with a fire extinguisher. A little common sense is expected of
anyone working on a motor vehicle or anything else in a shop or garage.
