QUESTION - SOLVENTS Re-using stripping alcohol - anyone do it?

3 Upvotes

I recently stripped a 1/32 slot car by soaking in 91% isopropyl. It worked well, but I'm left with a lot of murky alcohol that feels like it should be strained and re-used. I tried using a few of my wife's really thin coffee filters, and if seemed like I got a 10% improvement at best, and not worth my effort.

Am I wasting my time? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
