Default dry out solution

Hey Dustin,

I borrow this from work.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> The companies name is Crown, out of Pearland, TX 77581. Sorry no #. It is 99% Isopropyl Alcohol a mild to medium grade solvent. I am not sure if it is for sale to the general public but I would'nt see why not.

I would use all heat related methods first or you might be able to roast marshmellows.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> This stuff will flash on you very quickly. I like it becuase there is almost none if any residule left after it evaporates. I do not use this as my first line of defense for moisture though. There are other chemicals that might produce better results for evaporation but might preform negativly over all. Acetone, MEK(Methyl Ethyl Ketone) are two of them but I am not sure if they would breakdown the PVB or what kind of residue is left that might not be compatible with the resins. I guess that is another good question to ask the suppliers or manufacturers for those of us concerned. I will see what I can dig up and you do the same, and then post the findings. There are others that we use in aviation but they are not user friendly on the body.

I guess another answer I will try to find out is what temp the PVB starts to break down with heat. This might eliminate the daisy problem if you are monitoring the temp. during the drying phase. Who knows, maybe I am just making windshield repair more technical than it really is. What can I say...

Hey this microwave dryer...I could see alot of men frying their family jewels with this.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">

If anyone has the information on the food for though in this post please post for us all.

Anyway, I hope this helps.


Pay it foward,
