[QUOTE="Singed, post: 605287, member: 6261"] [USER=2673]@JimInks[/USER] I also steer away from Isopropyl Alcohol (isopropanol), it makes stems brittle, particularly acrylic - as you said. It can also dessicate briar. I used Isopropyl alcohol at first, even as a swabbing solution it led to chipping stems. For heaven's sake, never use Methyl Alcohol (methanol), wood alcohol, it is poisonous. I stick with grain alcohol, Ethyl Alcohol (ethanol), for pipe related projects. If you can drink it safely you can use it on your pipe. I buy mine from a lab suppier but Everclear will fill the bill. Putting together some green tea and a bowl of Old Professor before bed.
