I use METHYLATED SPIRITS as a cleaner in the home and garage. I want
to buy a couple of litres.

At present my local hardware shop sells it for a rather expensive
£1.75 / 500ml.

I don't see meths listed online at any of the websites for Homebase,
Focus or B&Q. Do these DIY chains actually stock meths and what do
they charge?

Or maybe there are cheaper places to buy meths?

ALternatively I am told that ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (also
called ISOPROPANOL) is a good cleaner but the only place I have seen
it is the chemists and they charge handsomely for it! Maybe there is
a cheapish source for ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL?

If you buy 5 litres it is £10.89 so thats £1.09 per 500ml but there
will be delivery costs on top unfortunately...
