One thing to be careful with the so-called 'rubbing alcohol', a lot of it
contains oils so
that it can be rubbed on your skin easily. A better thing to buy would be
isopropa
alcohol, usually available at the drug store. Good for many types of cleaning
jobs,
ie, volume controls. The evaporation rate is low so that it can flow.
