I've just ordered a litre of IPA, I going to decant it into small

Couldn't find any in the shops.

Typing ALK into Google suggests this is a hot topic.

I've been recommended 30-40% aloe vera gel. Apparently it leaves
little residue and is not too sticky, but does make the alcohol solution
more viscous and reduce its vapour pressure.


You could look on YouTube at the €˜recipe to make fuel for sterno camping
stoves.

Sterno stoves are common in the US. Sterno fuel is alcohol gel. People make
it as the refills are quite expensive. There are several recipes, the
simplest uses a powder used in poultry keeping etc and alcohol.

I was introduced to Sterno stoves many years ago on a fishing trip in the
US. Ive never seen them here or even an equivalent- although there are gel
stoves.
