Alcohol is often used to clean up after cleaning with solvents because it evaporates with no resedue.
Alcohol, however, absorbs water quite readily, and in large quantity. If its stored for a long period, you may find it is 20-30% water. Not only that, since the water is precipitated from the atmosphere, the impurities get into the alcohol. I remember trying to figure out why $30,000 laser windows for the Sheva fusion laser were exploding, and tracking it back to improperly stored alcohol. Rubbing alcohol, is diluted with water, so don't use that to dry anything, even though it makes a decent rinse and is safer to store than pure alcohol. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
