I have found that alcohol is very good for cleaning "stuff".
I am going to go through my fishing reels and clean them. I like to put them in a shallow tray with some alcohol, and brush them, and get the reel oil and sand out of them. The alcohol evaporates, and is kind to most plastic parts.
Now I'm confused. I went to get some, and there is isopropyl, rubbing, and another type, IIRC.
What's the difference in alcohols, which ones should be avoided for disturbing plastics, and what's the difference in rubbing alcohol and isopropyl?
I used to know this stuff, but my brain got so full that in order to put some new stuff in, it had to kick something else out, and I haven't found the controller that decides what to kick out. Homer Simpson said the same thing, but I said it a full year sooner than he, but never got the credit.
Thanks. Other reel cleaner suggestions appreciated, too.
