Where get cheapest methylated spirits?

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) http://www.decoratingdirect.co.uk/viewprod/b/BIRMETHS/ |
