    It's not as well filtered as the drug store stuff.  I buy it all the
    time for diluting my leather dyes and cleaning the brushes, and I've
    found no difference. If you were dealing with an ultra fussy alloy,
    it might make a difference, but I doubt that it makes any real
    difference.
