My ‘go to’ solvent is 90% Isopoll Alcohol in a spray bottle. WallyWorld / Pharmacy.
>>>>>————> WARNING; This stuff is flammable, bordering on explosive out of a spray bottle. Use care and it’s great stuff. Get careless and you’ll be explaining where your eyebrows went, or worse.
A good (and cheap) felt rest is the fuzzy side of Velcro. Wears well & is quiet.
Small world; I used to live in Rockaway Beach and went to High School for a while in Branson (about a hundred years ago, it seems).
