Hi Marshall-- I'm going through a pile of e-mail on Monday morning, so forgive me if someone has already answered this one. Don't use alcohol from the drug store. Use denatured, or "solvent" alcohol from a paint supply, Wal-Mart, anywhere with paint. "Drugstore" alcohol contains a lot of water. You don't want that!!

Although I'd like to try out other levers in the future. The schaff is working well so far. Alcohol, as in the basic alcohol you can get at any drug store? I used alcohol to clean walls when I did custodial work. It worked great.
