why not get professional products from professional nail companies and take the guesswork out of it?

I use it for cleaning my airbrush after body art and cleansing the skin ready for temp airbrush tattoo's

I get mine from Hubby who is a chemist - I dont dilute it

You should dilute it to 70%. 100% pure Isopropanol dries out the cuticle area / skin too much.
I buy it from my chemist as well - I get it already dilutet so I don't have the mess at home :lol: .
My airbrush teatcher told me not to use it for cleaning your airbrush cause there are certain kind of colours that can thicken up from it and get stuck in your pistol

If you look at the your professional products ie. coolblue ,ibd ,lcn etc you will find it is isoproponol alcohol with added colour. fragrance :smack:

Isoproponol Alcohol can be used neat to clean and sanitize implements and work surfaces. Works wonderfully for cleaning up wax pots! Wouldn't use it on skin as it is too drying.

it's actually used to blend the other ingredients together aswell as being an antiseptic...
the point had been missed in my last post, which was...
why try to guess how much to dilute it by when products are available with the guesswork taken care of.

Totally agree - your clients should not be guinea pigs.

Because at least over here in Germany it`s over 50% cheaper if you get it from the chemist

Many surface are not tolerant of alcohol - like pvc chairs, and high polished laminate desks. You'll end up dulling the surfaces and making them brittle.

Stick to products designed for the job in hand.
