Keep in mind ISO can damage some parts.

I've never had isopropyl damage anything - what kinds of things are sensitive to it (so I know what to lookout for)?

Now acetone on the other hand...do NOT use it to clean plastic unless you know what you're doing, lol.

Acrylic for sure, I think it can damage some screens too. Acetone will definitely mess up a lot of stuff.

I had no idea acrylic and ISO didn't get along. Good info.

I use ISO to strip the acrylic paint from my miniatures when I fail at their paint job.
