Cleaning RK05 packs (Was: LGP-30 Memory Drum Update)

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a bottle of "rubbing alcohol" that was anything but isopropanol-and-water. But I'm more Canadian than US. Or, more precisely, with _different_ concern for purity. For rubbing alcohol you want to avoid biologically active contaminants, but dissolved solids per se don't matter. Here, you care about dissolved solids but don't much care about things that might be biologically active, as long as they evaporate without residue. Which leads me to tentatively suggest gasoline (West Pondian) / petrol (East Pondian), since it seems to me that will go to some lengths to avoid fouling engines with residues. And it's available pretty much universally, and relatively cheaply. Or am I wrong about it not leaving even trace residues? Of course, anyone with distillation equipment could distil any of these to get something with less residue. But not everyone has chem-lab glassware. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
