But regular alcohol (ethanol) or lighter fluid will also do. In most cases, you can just wipe off the compound without using any solvents. bye, Tillmann By: anoneemoose (IP: 84.92.155.*) Written on: 14-10-2005 10:04 A drop of nail varnish remover or Lighter fluid (Zippo type) will do the trick, rub it in with a bit of cloth and wipe away a couple of times.
