Ummm, yeah.  I read that too.  I've had a part sealed in a baggie with 92%
isopropyl since Saturday evening, but no obvious softening yet...

Thanks though !

You might need to heed the second sentence from the Permatex tech data
sheet:

"The product can be removed from metal surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. If
the sealant has been dried for a long time or at high temperatures, cover
the sealant with alcohol and allow to soften overnight."
