Did you spray the alcohol, let it dry and then put the plant in the sun that day w/o washing it with water first?

I'm a great believer in alcohol for scale and other critters, but I've learned that you have to follow a few steps the day you use it - no sun and a spray-off with water after the alcohol dries is a method that, after trial and a few errors, I've found to be effective.

I would like to 'Ditto' what Jeff just said.
After alcohol, a rinse - and then no sun.

Now, as to this particular Jade, how 'bout a picture?

I've looked at my jade again and it seems that the affected leaves are right below the tips I pinched out, not on other branches, would they be extra sensitive to the alcohol? Sorry I can't post a picture. Thanks for the tips.
