Which alcohol to use?

I'm going to mix up a batch of vinyl cleaning solution for my record cleaner, a Nitty Gritty Mini-Pro, using the VPI additive. Others have recommended that I also add 10ozs of alcohol to the mix to help the fluid spread more evenly.
My question is, is it okay to use a pure grain alcohol, such as 'Everclear', as opposed to isopropyl? Would the grain alcohol damage the vinyl in any way?

B_limo......I've got some excellent 12 year old bourbon but don't know if I want to waste enough to clean my LPs.

You might want to try TechSpray. It is 99% pure isopropyl.

When I used to dj, I used gruv glide. Anyone ever try that? It seemed to work well for me.
