I've just ordered a litre of IPA, I going to decant it into small
plastic bottles with a little hand cream.
Couldn't find any in the shops.
Typing ALK into Google suggests this is a hot topic.
Snap! I was going to say I'd done the same thing, but I ordered 5 litres
because it's useful stuff to have around (unless there's a fire!).
Does anyone know whether emollients such as Diprobase make good carriers
for the alcohol?
A cream *might* work if the alcohol doesn't disrupt the function of the
emulsifiers, but alcohol won't mix with a hydrocarbon-based ointment.

So it becomes an emulsion then?
Just shake well before use.
I suggest a thought experiment. What do you suppose will happen, if
anything, if you shake up some vodka with vaseline, even with a little
washing-up liquid?
