Ladies and gentlemen,

Would some of you please tell me what liquid solutions and procedures you have used in order to soften hammers for the purpose of voicing?  I have searched the archives and found mention of fabric softener that turns hammers blue, which I don't want to do.  Another solution mentioned was ethanol and water.  That sounds interesting but only one posting mentioned concentration of the constituents.  He said he used rubbing alcohol as that came as 90% denatured alcohol and 10% water.  No mention was made anywhere of the exact procedure when using ethanol.
