Use DENATURED alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol contains water...very bad for your strings.

Denatured is basically liquor....with a poison added in to allow it to be sold in stores other than liquor stores.

Should be able to find it at a hardware store or home improvement warehouse.

no silk on the nickels and don't want any. water is fine in boiling as long as you towel dry right after. i still got strings from my first D'ad. set that i done boiled dozens o'times and played for years.
