Vallejo Liquid Gold recommends to use 96% isopropyl for thinning on their site.

The best I can find is 91%. Has anyone used these with 91% and not had an issue with oxidation?

I am getting a bunch of these in today and want to try them out.

Or does anyone have a recommendation on where I can find 96% or greater. My wife recommended vodca. LOL

I bet it works just fine with 91%, I got 99,5% purity isopropyl from a local electronics shop, similar to radio shack in the US I suppose.
Maybe someone has tried it with less and can tell you more.

91% works fine - I had no issues.
Though I would be careful not to let any get into the pot (through brush or otherwise). On the model it will dry out before any oxidation manifests itself. But sealed in a pot - I won't bet on it.
