In my test alcohol had no effect on the antiglare coating on the eMate,
nor did Testors solvent (methyl ethyl ketone), nor acetone, nor Lacquer
thinner ( a soup of ketones, esters, ethylene glycol's, toluene
isobutal alcohols, etc, nor a mild form of n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (a
paint stripper) none of these even slightly made it tacky. I still
plan to test a stronger formula of n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and methylene
chloride (a stronger paint stripper). I am not optimistic since most
of these products can be stored in some form of plastic.
I suspect that abrasion is the only way to remove the antiglare film on
the Newton display.
Alcohol may not be recommended but it does not seem to dissolve the
film.
