I am told of a recommendation for 3:2 but I really have no idea
what the evidence is. 60-70% alcohol seems common for hand gels.

The WHO publishes a hand-gel "recipe"

Not to difficult to make.

I don't know what the ingredients cost but I think you could make quite
a bit of money making your own and flogging it on ebay.

It's already on ebay for very low price

They look highly inflated to me. Small Aldi brand bottles up from 45p
to c.£3. And some stuff I bought ('Cuticura') a while back for not much
more than £1, £10-£20. And people are paying these prices:

order hand sanitizer by price, there's plenty of cheap available. That
some is also going for silly prices doesn't mean we can make & sell it
at great margin. I did look.

Does common old methylated spirits work ?.

It is moderately poisonous, and therefore best not used as a skin
preparation, especially not frequently or on children. Also it will dye
your hands purple.
