Alcohol is great for cleaning lenses. It floats the dirt off the lense so it can be blotted up with tissue or cloth, dries quickly and does not attack the glue or sealers.

You big dummy, read the article first:(

good thing to know. I wonder how many freepers know how to make white lightening...my dad, born in 1901 could make anything into alcohol. We always had a big jug of cider full of raisins and a gizmo on top to let the fumes (I think that what it was for) out so it didn't blow up. That made hard cider. He and his buddy, who just happen to be the sheriff of Sugar Island would go up there, make a still and bring a few gallons of “stuff” for drinking. To age the “stuff” they tied a barrel of liquor onto the back of Chets boat and run the St Marys river (always rough and separated the US from Canada) and said they did that to age the shine. His generation knew how to make anything into booze. He passed in 1988. That generation took a lot of knowledge with them when they passed away. He talked about his dad making his own salve to stop bleeding when they castrated all the pigs. A good cough medicine was equal parts of whiskey, lemon and honey. It did the job when my kids were small. You only gave a teaspoon for kids and a tablespoon for adults, but had to shake it up good before taking to mix all the ingredients that had a tendency to separate. Had another medication but needed creosote and the drug store was out of it and wasn't going to order more. (back when drug stores were just drug stores and magazines) In my area it was Rexall drugs...
