Hi Bill, > How about the permeability of the fibers? Their ability to absorb any > of the above discussed liquids? I don't really know. I suppose if there are any oils originally present in the fibers, the alcohol, acetone, or any other organic solvent would wash them out, making the fibers a bit more willing to soak up water. As you pointed out, the alcohol is a good wetting agent, breaking surface tension and allowing water to follow into somewhat oily fibers. Peace, Sarah
