Swedish alternative to Mean green, Mr clean or IPA. - MrAsh - 07-18-2019

I cannot find "Mean green" in any Swedish stores, and IPA from the store "Kjell & co" is relatively expensive. Nor can I find the right kind of "Mr clean" products.

Has anyone tested any alternative product with satisfactory results that can be purchased in Sweden?

I myself have heard that the product "T-Röd" should work OK, but that it dissolves cured resin in the print if the print is bathing too long in the liquid. NOTE; I have not testet this myself.

I bought "Rödsprit" when I was a biltema. I dont really notice much difference from the much more expensive isopropanol från Kjell & co. I usually leave for a min in one vat, then splash around and move to next vat and leave for a few minutes, then splash around and move a vat with water. 

Im getting good prints :-)
However.. if you find an alternative Im all ears, until then Ill use rödsprit.
