[TowerTalk] Metal degreaser

[Chris BONDE]

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.
