Re: Can Methylated Spirits be used as skin prep??
I am not sure about the product mentioned here, but I do not use a deodorant as a skin prep on my scalp. Just prior to applying tape or glue, I use Witch Hazel. It is an astringent which seems to clean up the soap oils and help with the bonding.

I use 99% to remove the unit and follow up with Desolve-it on my scalp and natural hair prior to a shampoo to remove the rest of the goo. When I re-attach, this gets me a 3 week + bond, but there is nothing scientific here. I might get the same results by slaughtering a chicken and swinging it over my head three times while chanting the lyrics to Dark Side of the Moon.

The witch hazel does seem to help. It's cheap and worth a try..and a lot less messy than the chicken-thing.
