Alternative TIM-Clean?

[Vaanish]

Ok i am cheap, and I am wondering f i could use nail vaanish remover as an alternative TIM remover instead of that stuff from the store?

yeah you can suppose to work quite well

It will leave a residue, which isn't good. A bottle of rubbing alcohol will cost you 98cents so being cheap is no reason to avoid going the tried and true method. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates completely so there is no residue.

yeah, that's what i used to do, well, still do, if i need anything cleaned up real good. got mates that work in hospitals so they just get me the alcohol wipe things or w/e the **** they are, that clean and evaporate like 10 secs later. pro!

Very nice. A commonly suggested material for the wiping is coffee filters; as they do not leave lint, are super cheep and are readily available.

How do you know his brand of nail varnish remover leaves a residue ????

I'm sorry there are many brands of nail polish remover that only use ethyl acetate and/or acetone. If there are any other ingredients there may be a slight film left on the part but can most likely be removed under running water. /footinmouth
