Try JET DRY as a wetting agent available from your grocery store . . .
Posted by hiatt@alaska.net on February 25, 2011 at 12:57:05:
I did an informal experiment at home using several possible wetting agents(surfactants) on a bead of water, and Jet Dry was by far the most effective. Effective for me was how fast the agent worked, how far the combined fluid spread out, and the degree of flatness. Other wetting agents tested were Isopropyl alcohol, Windex, Photo-flo, Triton X-114, and Chemtronics SD-43. To be fair, the highly concentrated Triton X-114 was not diluted enough.
Jet Dry is fairly cheap, easy to find in the cleaning products of the grocery store, and comes in small quantities. Be sure to purchase the clear Jet Dry to avoid colored dyes that may not wash away without a lot of effort.
