I normally use isopropyl alcohol for checking chamber and port volumes, can't seem to buy any right now, what else works?

Jim... COORS LIGHT or I've used the blue windshield washer fluid, it cleans up easier. MB

Mineral spirits,,I use isopropyl alcohol and I add a little food color so it's easier to see in the burret.
