Some hardware stores also sell 99% IPA. For electronics I find 91% or higher has the best cleaning action.

IPA is naturally hydroscopic and will absorb water over time. For lab purposes, I use the highest concentration that I can find in the local stores, which is usually 99% IPA.

I've actually been wondering if there is an easy method to determine the concentration of water in IPA solutions, since I assume that 99% IPA becomes less concentrated as it is exposed to the atmosphere over time. Perhaps specific gravity measurement.
