Default RE: homemade blackpowder solvent?

ORIGINAL: dbblung

Quite a while back I read a post on here about a homemade cleaning solution. I believe it was part ww fluid and one or two other liquids. If anyone has the recipe or a link to the postwould you please post it or PM me. Thanks Fellas!
Everything you put together at home can cause rust, so why complicate things? The best BP solvent I know of is just plain WATER! Some of the substitutes might respond better to something added to the water, but for BP, all that's needed to improve water is heat. BOILING water really works well. If you add alcohol to the water, this will freeze-proof it, as Cayugad says.
