I never used anything but isopropyl rubbing alcohol for thinning dyes. It is dirt cheap and available at every corner drug store. When I was doing leather a bunch, I'd buy it by the gallon. I never saw a difference between the rubbing alcohol and higher percentages with my dye formulas.

I think it was Aaron from Makers who said Peter Main uses rubbing alcohol as a dye reducer.

I've used it in the past as well denatured alcohol. I can't tell any difference.
