Isopropyl Alcohol -is- rubbing alcohol. Rated by percent of alcohol vs
water.

Witch Hazel is rubbing alcohol aka IPA with extra junk tossed in.

The only thing I recall from the MSDS sheet was a warning that it can
"defat" the skin. IE, wash the oils out and dry it out.

If you use 99% IPA, it dries much quicker from the board.
