<font size=3>In defense of Susan Klein, (I don't think she's currently on
the list), as far as I know, she only uses Everclear for voicing. NOT
bushings. <br><br>

They all do it. They add things like glycerol and citric acid to
vodka. Everclear, as I mentioned, contains a citrus
flavorant. Not trying to say something doesn’t work for people,
just adding my scientific two cents. I’m gonna stick with denatured
alcohol Formula Nos. 3-A, or 3-C (methanol and isopropanol denaturants,
respectivelydon’t use No. 3-B, it contains pine tar!)<br>

</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2 color="#000080">Steer clear
of Everclear (sorry). It contains a slight amount of citrus
flavoring that might gum up the works. Stick with denatured alcohol
from the paint store. Try to find some denatured with iso-propyl alcohol,
instead of gasoline or methanol. Much safer.<br>

I've heard 'Everclear' works well for easing action center
bushings. (probably eases techs well too)<br>

<dd>Greetings,<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd> Is denatured alcohol the
same as Ethanol alcohol that is available in drugstores? ...or so I use
straight stuff from the state liquor store?<br>
<dd> <br>
