Isnt it better to wash with alcohol rather than water?
A. No! Water will not damage the wood if you dont overuse it. All you need is enough to wash off the stripper. Just dampen some steel wool or *Scotch-Brite pad with water and wash with the grain. The wood doesnt even get that wet. Alcohol doesnt clean any better than water and is very flammable. This product is 100% neutralized with water, so there is no need for any chemical after wash. If you are stripping a piece with veneer, you may want to use denatured alcohol instead of water to prevent the veneer from lifting. Q.
