Totally can be used. I use ethanol rather than isopropanol in my processor with 3 stations of 100% ethanol right before the xylenes.

Someone dropped off a bunch of pure ethanol, they don't need it, I said I'd help dispose it... can't be used for processing can it? I seem to recall damaging some tissue many years ago when using ethanol... your thoughts? Maybe just clean cycles on the processors...
