Hi everyone

As title really. Can I use IPA as panel wipe? I have some and just wondered

Thanks

Good question, IPA is good stuff will not leave residue, and tends to be "safe" with most materials BUT it might not remove all greases as some are not soluble in IPA...

Any painting experts out there?

I am using new aluminium sheet. So hopefully not too dirty. Is there another locost solution. If I have to buy panel wipe I will. Would rather use what I've got in the workshop first

Thanks
Dan

IPA will be perfectly fine, excellent solvent.
