alcohol @70% is the best, thinner is not pure... cheap stuff. NOt good for cleaning...

noooo nail polish remover... its acetone i think... dont use it

well we can but alcohol at that percentage is very volatile... so if u mishandle it it can either explode or do some nasty damage(dryness) to your fingers due to high end evaporation..

are you kidding me? alcohol at high percentages is volatile and dangerous to humans if inhaled. Yes, alcohol is used as antiseptics but more often its normally at 70% concentration, aka, isopyril alcohol. Alcohol vaporizing has nothing to do with its reactive behavior

Indigestion of alcohol, depends, if u drink in clubs and u had bacardi 151 or absenth, the % of alcohol is at 70%+, so its really on the chemical composition of how the alcohol is derived.

All alcohol does not burn on its own. But all alcohol above 30% does evaporate when exposed to ambient (more then 0c) temperatures
Well noone specifically asked you to inhale 70% alcohol from the bottle or from plastic bag right? Normal usage is fine(cleaning etc etc), hell even smelling it is fine, but dont do it excessively la,i wont be responsible for your PHD

its not because it is due to vaporisation that it is volatile. It is very molecularly light and due to that it cannot store alot of energy and hence its melting point is -88.8C (184.35 K) and its boiling point is 82.3 °C (355 K) and that is why, when its exposed to ambient temperatures it will vaporize as well as carry a fair bit of energy off the surface it was on, and when its on your hand, its even more faster (hence the cold feeling). What more if it is lit up from a heat? This is referring to Isopropyl alcohol la, where as other types of alcohol are more or less about the same melt and boil point. Isopropyl alcohol cannot be drunk because it has a toxicity almost double of those from beer/wine (lazy to explain), and that is why you can die if you drink it.
Illegal rice wine is composed of ethanol, which is of a different substance then "cleaning compound", and different charateristic and and that is the one from beer, wine etc etc, those drinkable ones made from fermentation

if it is really that sticky, what to be done might actually risk bending the pins
