Shoe polish often contains ethanol and methanol to speed the drying process. It's something you drink when you'd rather be dead than sober, like kerosene or sterno.

Thanks. So it's not the precipitate, it's the solvent...and, FTR, the separated components were trapped by baguette-filtration, meaning they weren't precipitates by definition, and I was unwisely showing off some misunderstood fancy vocabulary.
So I learned

ETA: Four, counting the song reference.
