Can anyone shed some light on the practicality of using a 90% alcohol soak prior to painting? 3D Systems has asked me to try this...

Thanks for the info, it saved me a lot of wasted time. I have received my work benches, so I can start putting the cleaning station together. By posting here I received a lot of useful information. Although I'm not exactly sure what I will end up doing yet. lol

Oh I see, sorry. Can you guys chime in on the possible uses of Sodium hydroxide water mix in this application?
