I have only used Denatured Alcohol. Does regular alcohol really have lanolin in it?? Lanolin is used in skin cream and some people are allergic to it. I doubt that when you go the the doctor with a cut or they are cleaning the skin to give you shot, they would use something that could would be harmful to some patients. There are two types of "regular" alcohol. Rubbing alcohol which may be what Bob is referring to; and there is also Iso-propyl which has no additives in it. (50 cents a 12 ounce bottle at your drug store). I have used Iso-propyl in an emergency only when no denatured is available. Iso-propyl is what you would have used is science / chemistry class is school.
Contact cleaners/What's good?
What is your favorite contact cleaner/treatment product? I used to use something called Cramolin (which I can no longer find). I replaced the Cramolin with a small bottle of De-Oxit which worked well on the used equipment that I have purchased as well as the outlets. Unfortunately the bottle of De-Oxit was tossed out by accident when we recently cleaned out under the sink and I need a new bottle of something, preferably a one step treatment unless their is a good reason to use one that is multi-step. I had also wanted to try it on tube sockets as well (another piece of used gear) and wonder if this is advised. Thanks.
