What sort of alcohol do you use?

[@budsurtees4224]

Rubbing alcohol is absolutely the wrong thing to use because of its higher water content. You want to use 98% or 99% Isopropyl alcohol.

Oh yeah. I think the APH suggested that in another video in "Cleaning Slide Film: A Museum How-to"
Is there maybe a difference depending on what film you're using?

@@katziliaf What channel would that be? I just searched for that video, but came up with nothing.
