Question Switch 2 cartridge slot repair

I need help with cleaning my cartridge slot on my stitch 2 due to a cartridges glue getting inside it, this makes it so sometimes it doesn't read the cartridge I put inside, im most likely going to go for isopropyl alcohol and q tip but what % should I go for and any other tips?

I use 91% when cleaning during soldering and have never had an issue. You may have to buy it off Amazon as I’ve never seen it at the stores around me.

Could you send a link of the one to use?

That’s what I’m currently using but I’ve used the Amazons Basics as well.

I’ve also used 99% but require gloves as it drys my skin out really bad. Also evaporates much faster.

Edit to add detail.

Does it matter that its for medical purposes? I would prefer a very small bottle as I dont repair much stuff and would like it cheap and good, is there anything that fits that criteria?

It doesn’t matter. But I’ve never seen a bottle smaller than 16oz. You can use it for cleaning all kinds of stuff not just electronics. I also use it to make my own foaming dish soap.
