Can anyone tell me what you mix with the windshield washer fluid and the ratio to make your own swabbing fluid.

91% Iso Alcohol - 50-50

but I just use plain old regular blue windex - it really works well + no mixing just buy it off the shelf.

I buy a gal of the cheap windshield washer and add a little dawn dish soap to it and works fine for me.

I use windshield washer fluid or Windex straight. Plain tepid water works ok too.

Keep in mind that Alcohol can ruin the finish on a wood stock.

I use plain old Iso alcohol in my Encore. Knocks the 777 fouling right out. I have a synthetic stock and forearm so no worries.
