Paulisher,
You do not want to put any alcohol in the break to dry it out. Alcohol will eat the PVB and damage the windshield. Here is a link to a video showing the effects alcohol has on the laminate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VObLylOg ... r_embedded

Just get a Drystar and be done with it. I worked on seven (7) W/S today and although moisture was not evident in the stars, I dried everyone of them first.
