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?

I normally pay over £5/litre for IPA & if you don't have adequate
ventilation you get the hangover from hell.
Cheapest place to buy meths is your local decoraters suppliers or copying
suppliers (copying spirit)

That sounds pretty steep, especially if you use it in any quantity. I
pay ~£6-7 per winchester (2.5l).

I don't use very much :-) Where do you get yours?
