Hi, quick question.

Are these okay to use for removing thermal paste from computer components?

Solution

should be OK

I usually use regular, dry, paper towel. I've also used paper towel and vodka a few times.

It will work, but you'll go through a lot of them since they'll dry out quickly.

It's just easier to buy the bottle of rubbing alcohol.
