Local Sony repair agents say Chemist shop (pharmacy) IPA probably OK
for camera sensor cleaning but that bulk supermarket stuff is suspect.

I intend to try distilling some of the bulk IPA I bought to see if
there is any discernible difference. Vacuum distillation may be wiser,
but distillation at atmospheric safe enough if sensible - and far
enough away when it blows :-).
