Alcohol is ok. I made the point rather badly. The problem that I was trying
to forestall is using low purity water, some salts cause the colloidal
suspension to break down, although which I can't remember, as I last did it
myself about 20 years ago. I should also like to add that it is a good idea
to wear disposable vinyl or polythene gloves to avoid fingerprints on the
insulator.
