Thanks James,

I have a "buy everything wholesale" complex these days but you can
pick-up 90% at the chemist which is probably fine when you're like me
and only need a dab.

The reason I ask is because someone suggested* using roughly 50%
solution for cleaning LCD monitors. 

*Don't hold me to it I've never tried it.
