Methyl 408 and Ethyl 408 absorbed into the guerilla epoxy and clear lacquer, and affected the gravimetric results even though, visually, they both removed most of the soils. The red lacquer did not absorb the chemicals, so a gravimetric reading was possible. Both chemicals are decent at precision cleaning.
