I've yet to observe ethanol attack styrene, but maybe the additives are
different in some places for denatured. I use mine on all plastics with no
hesitation.
I agree with you that IPA seems to have less cleaning action, and it
stinks like a doctors office. Denatured ethanol OTOH tastes _really_ bad,
no i don't try to drink it but if you blow out a tubular part a tiny
amount of residue tastes very bad on your lips. Same with antifreeze, and
intentional in both cases.
