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

A quick google for ingredients shows glycerin might also work instead of hand
cream. ISTR that maximum effect is not at the highest concentration of IPA.

See last bullet point he

Hand cream is ingenious, though!

Couldn't find what they use for a thickener in gel formulations...

For high-alcohol formulations fumed silica can be used as the gelling agent.


See my response to Roger- that is essentially how some of the Sterno
substitutes are made but with different gelling agents.
