I will try this and see how little heat is necessary for solubility of the
ascorbic acid.  I would prefer one of the more fluid glycols over methanol
but want to avoid the excess heat.  I will let you know about the temp.

BTW, since glycerol can be used (although in larger concentration) to
prevent curling in paper, I wonder if either of the glycols might have a
good effect on curling of paper of film?  On second thought, the washing
surely removes it so it probably doesn't.

OT, propylene glycol is a great cerumenolytic (dissolves earwax) and can be
used to good effect in cleaning out obstructed ears.  Perhaps a good use for
outdated HC110?
