Yeah, fine. IPA is a very mild solvent.

Company i used to work for (digital inkjet printing) started using CF for print carriages in applications where stiffness & lightweight was an important factor. The fact the MD was obsessed with it, was also a factor.
I was in charge of compatibility testing with various CF/resin combinations in different solvents. IPA was fine with all of them.
Some of the other stuff properly messed the CF up though!!

IPA or ethanol are both fine. If I don't have IPA then I use some nasty vodka on a cloth rag.
