Methanol and wetter water

[Isaac OLEG]

Hello ,

Photo xxx wetter, may be used in so small quantities it does not un
glue the bushing.

That is the same kind of agent used in wall paper remover. surface
tension releasing, I possibly believe it is why some soap have to be
added in the mix in the formula I had.
