Rubbing alcohol to clean surfaces like blades, cutting boards and pasta machines, as well as removing finishes and spilled alcohol ink.)Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutorhttp://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-wire-wrapped-coin-bead-rings-video/11074/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896198571126931965.post-9595100556491416692010-08-09T15:46:13.721-07:002010-08-09T15:46:13.721-07:00I would say
