Rubbing alcohol, post-pandemic, must be way cheaper than the stuff sold for the same purpose. I&#8217;ve been told to not use more than 1 cap-full of alcohol, MORE IS NOT BETTER.as It dries out any rubber or felt seals. If a little bit of it doesn&#8217;t solve your problem in seconds, more will not fix your problem.<\/p>\n<p>When I used it, I set both brake valves in the truck. Disconnected 1 glad-hand at a time, and poured a cap-full of alcohol into each glad-hand and then reconnected both to the trailer and pushed in my brake valves.
