Where to buy SD-Alcohol?

Oct 29, 2004 29 Replies

I'm glad you were careful with the spelling.

I can't buy alcohol. I'd love to know a source (preferably Bristol) for some source of high-proof ethanol (even just "Everclear") which is undyed, unstenched with pyridine and is less than 50% methanol.

At the moment I'm using some scrounged from a commercial lab. I didn't have to deal with paperwork, but I know they had to.

Ethanol is difficult because of duty. If you're prepared to pay, then these guys will sell you very clean ethanol:

NO, the clue was in the word 'solvent'. Get a sodding clue.

Acetone Methyl Methacrylate Nitomethane Petrol Kerosene Water (good general purpse solvent, and cheap) Not sure if you still can, but various chlorinated hydrocarbons as used in eg cleaning fluids. Like carbon tetrachloride. And trichloro-ethane? Ether, in cold start sprays for diesels.

Ive go at least 60% of teh totality of te above in one form or another somewhere.

You're the one who seems to think there's a problem.

I buy the stuff, I buy it regularly, I don't have problems. This would indicate to me that I'm the one who does have a clue.

No, you have the problem, first off you try and tell me what I was thinking about when I typed the reply ! Then, even though *you* might buy 'solvents' without problems other people might not especially if 'young'.

No, I really don't

It's what you said -

Maybe next year they'll let you wear long trousers

Yes you so, you think you are a mind reader...

Well, if you are correct, at least I'm out of soiled nappies unlike your good self.
