[Roadsters] brake flushing

[Tim]

Has any one actually used the denatured alchohol to flush a system? Are they any concers, drawbacks, etc? 

What happens if not all the alchohol is removed from the lines? 

Thanks

Just garden-variety denatured alcohol.  Label says it is "Shellac thinner, 
alcohol & chafing dish fuel, gas line antifreeze and windshield washer 
anti-moistre gasoline additive".
