Wouldn't a higher concentration of alcohol just mean it would evaporate quicker for our purposes? I did not give the home formula to be assaulted. I did not remember that rubbing alcohol had acetone or ethanol...I just knew not to use it! Whatever the "rubbing" chemical may be...it is not good for vinyl. Tvad had asked for the home solution and by reading this thread I thought I would offer up mine. When the list of ingredients was given to me I was supposed to find the highest concentration but I have not been anywhere yet that had 99% when I needed it. (or I would have purchased it) I am not a chemist but the person who passed it along to the audiophile friends here is a chemist... and has about $100,000 worth of electronics which includes a Symphonic Line turntable and cartridge. Not exactly mass-fi. His record collection takes up most of a 10 X 10 room. In any event..try it or don't. I am not a salesman and I am not not trying to ruin everyone's vinyl. Use it or spend your $$ on some company's formula which is still mostly water. It doesn't matter to me.
Sincerely,
Jeff
