I never have.

What kind? Isopropel, Denatured, etc??

I have bottles of absolute alcohol and propanol which with experience I find i
very rarely use.

I use saturated solutions. 11% for potassium and 33 % for ammomium. But for
carbon and oil and so on I use 4% and 3% respectively.

The weaker the solution the higher the contrast.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps you have already noticed from the list that you are in the midst of
other 'alt' persons.
