: Just mix it with isopopryl (99 percent
: alcohol), and make sure its 99% alcohol or else it won't work ...

Martin is right. Take a read of the safety data sheet for 90-100%
isopropyl alcohol :

As I've said before on this forum, concentration is everything.
Alcohol represents an acceptable health risk at up to, say, 40%, but
judging by the data sheet, 99% isopropyl alcohol is far too
concentrated to be handled safely without protection.

Here are a few relevant quotes :

"Emergency Overview
--------------------------
WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED.
CAUSES IRRITATION TO EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM. MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION TO SKIN. "

"Skin Contact:
May cause irritation with redness and pain. May be absorbed through
the skin with possible systemic effects."

"Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. Exposure to
high concentrations has a narcotic effect, producing symptoms of
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and
possibly death."

"Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab
coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Neoprene and nitrile rubber are recommended materials. "
