I've not heard of "collodion", but a quick Google search brought up this site: http://www.ghg.net/cshaw/clean.htm
Looks good, and a bit less expensive. I don't know where to buy it around here. The article mentions to use "collodion USP" and not the stuff used in hospitals since it leaves a oily residue. I am going to the local pharmacy and see if they can help me.
-------------------
I checked the MSDS safety info on collodion USP and First Contact. Their composition is a bit different.
Collodion USP: Nitrocellulose, Diethyl Ether, and Ethyl Alcohol.
First Contact: Formal Glycol, Bis(Methoxy)Methane, Ethyl Alchohol, Acetone, Ethyl Lactate, Ethyly Acetate.
Like Carol mentions in the next message, they both are considered hazardous, and good ventilation is required.
