Most Pure ethanol still has 4% water. Why not use 99% isopropanol, for the money probably the best buy.   Howard Wu Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today! Download Messenger Now

On that note: I have tried all sorts of exotic anti-rusting methods but definitely the best is : Brush off all the rust with a wire brush, mix some methylated spirits with Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda) (about 3 Table spoons to 1 pint) mix and soak the iron in it for at least a couple of weeks
