Meths.



Meths is crap for pretty much anything.

IPA is reasonably decent as a weak solvent and readily available.

Carbon TetraChloride was the ******** but you won't get that anymore
('cos it gives you cancer**)

I would have thought that meths would have been fine for this job.

I carry meths in the van for cleaning old sockets and switches.


I use meths first, if that's not food enough, acetone.
