Thanks for any info.

You can get ethyl alcohol at the liquor store under the brand name
"Everclear" (190 proof = 95%+ ethanol).

Or you can steal it from the Biology Department of your local university
(they pay about 90 cents a gallon). I've got a gallon left over from my
school days - about 40 years ago. I'm letting it "age."
