I find I have better application on extremely high humidity days with
isopropyl alcohol, but the Borg denatured works fine 99% of the time.

By denatured, I assume you mean the methanol sold in cans at the borg.


It's been 40 plus years, but ...

Don't know about "sold as" labeling, but I am a chem major and IIRC
they are similar but different alochols.

"Denatured alcohol", as I recollect, is "ethanol" (C2H5OH), with
"methanol" (CH3OH) added to make it poisonous.


Ahhhh I vaguely remember that too from chemistry class. According to
Wikipedia it is also called "methylated spirits" which is probably why I
got confused with Methanol.

Thanks!
