Why does one need alcohol to splice wires???
56 u/whatisabaggins55 14d ago According to Google, it's isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the wires of plastic residue before connecting them. 15 u/Redneckia 14d ago I thought just drinkable booze was forbidden. What about mouthwash... 10 u/Low-Hovercraft-8791 14d ago Yeah I'm guessing this story is apocrypha (or just made up). Even ethyl alcohol is fine to use in any application other than to get drunk. 2 u/PM-ME-WATER-COOLER 13d ago In gulf Arab nations you cant buy mouthwash with alcohol. (Source: me, a person who was upset that I couldn’t get any good mouthwash) 1 u/Low-Hovercraft-8791 13d ago Even in America, people drink that stuff. Cheaper than actual booze.
