Mineral spirits.

mineral spirits will eat away at plastics and rubber. I can't
say it works but isopropyl alcohol works well at work where
materials and residue are quite sensitive (linear accelerators
with exotic materials and lots of radiation). If you don't
want a residue get high grade (90% plus) but you might
have to get that at a special store as it is considered
a HazMat.

Gerald,
I've been using mineral spirits for many years and haven't seen any
problems with plastics or rubber.
Can you post a spec or document which states this?
If i'm causing a potential problem, I'd like to know about it.

Thanks

Dave
