We use Everclear 190 proof as part of a mixture to clean oil paintings. Would never drink it after seeing what it can do to varnish and paint.
what percentage alcohol is that? I mean, you can’t go pat 100 per can you?
Everclear is a great solvent, fuel, antiseptic, and anesthetic (topical and internal?) Stock up for the apocalypse!
We use it as the solvent of second choice (after water) for things like removing stickers from food serving items, and for anywhere you have stubborn cleaning jobs needing a solvent without petrochemical smell.
If you haven’t been painting your insides there is nothing to worry about!
yup, I use it routinely in my art conservation projects. It’s especially useful as a varnish solvent for shellac and some acrylic resins. and, as you say, selectively cleaning degraded varnish films.
