Thanks guys. If I start with an empty tank on the VPI, do you think I'd do OK with a mixture of Ivory liquid and distilled water? I'd think I want highly dillute soap but a little bit to cause soaping action in the grooves.
The regular VPI fluid has isoprop, right? So it shouldn't be used?

They clean up well on the Monks, and I use a mix of PhotoFlo and steam
distilled water for everything on that machine (never any alcohol). If palmitic
acid is appearing, Windex..then rinse and clean with whatever you'd normally
use (again, no alcohol, except for recreational purposes).

liquid and rinse several times with distilled water. I've heard this from
several people.
