I hope "rubbing alcohol" is not the same as what's called "surgical
spirit" in UK. Surgical spirit contains oil of wintergreen, and so is
NOT suitable for any solvent-cleaning task as it will leave a slight
oily residue.
>it has caused me no trouble
Sounds as if it must be different stuff, then.
>More problematic is dust, which causes fisheyes
All the texts I've read assert that fisheyes are caused by
silicon/silicone or oil contamination of workpiece or spraygun. I
think fisheyes are the visible effects of local variations in the
surface-tension of the wet paint layer. I guess dust, depending on
its chemical composition, could do that, but I associate it more
commonly with poor surface finish - slight roughness or grittiness
after the paint is dry, and perhaps poor adhesion in tiny spots.
