The only time I've specifically needed meths for a diy project

shellac for restoring some ebonised furniture.

The latest Axminster catalogue has some black shellac, so any
remaining 78s are safe.

I'll bookmark that; at the time -- 15 or 20 years ago -- it seemed to
be the simplest way to get a non-industrial-sized amount of the stuff.

An elegant solution indeed.
