Default RE: T17 Black Powder Solvent

I used to use Butch's Black Powder Bore Shine. It's really good stuff but not cheap. Then I kept reading about the 50/50 mixof windshield washer fluid and alcohol, so I checked the ingredients on my bottle of washer fluid and found out it's nothing much more thanwater and alcohol and by doing a 50/50 mix all I was doing was increasing the percent of alcohol. So I started mixing 50/50 91% alcohol and water and it worked fine. Then I tried the straight 91% alcohol and found it worked fine also, but I didn't need to dry patch because it evaporated so fast in the bore. So I've been using straight alcohol for the last year with excellent results.
