Certain solvents can greatly accelerate stress cracking in certain plastics.

I know of a certain brand of plastic binding post knobs that will instantly fall apart if a certain type of flux stripper gets sprayed on them.

Do you know what type of plastic the cracked parts were made of? This might be important to know for anyone considering using alcohol in their system.
