The first part I made, I cleaned it off with 91% IPA and did my UV light cure.
The smell was strong so I looked for some alternatives.
I came across some recommendations for Mean Green and tried it several times.
Each time I would swish the part in it, then drop it into a mixer like this for about 3 minutes (which is what I did for my first part in IPA):

The first Mean Green part I tried curing like I did with the IPA washed part.
The 2nd & third parts I left in the sun all day.
ALL
DAY
In all cases I am finding the parts I cleaned with the mean green to have a softer almost rubbery outer texture compared to my IPA washed parts.
I went back and tried IPA again, and the parts feel much better.
The rest of the process is unchanged, so I feel like the Mean Green must be the issue.
Has anyone else had similar results?
Is there something I am not doing that would result in the Man Green being a better alternative?
It still has a strong smell to me but not like the IPA!
