Anyone got a source for undyed meths without the pyridine ? I'm
using it as a solvent for shellac in french polishing. I can live with
the methanol, but the stench of pyridine is horrible.

Price not really an issue !

At the moment I'm using pure (sic) ethanol, which is a royal pain to
get hold of.


Distill your own?

Glycol in the cooling system. Methanol in the washers.

Not in washers - glycol smears like crazy. It used to be used, but not
for a couple of decades.

Radiator coolant is a glycol. Either ethylene glycol in the cheap
stuff, or propylene glycol in the non-poisonous sort.

The message
from raden contains these words:

No, you don't want to put glycol in washers, it's not good for paintwork.

In the beginning was the word.
And the word was Aardvark.

In fact, routed through Wilkinsons today and it is in fact £1.19 for 500mL.

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

Glycol in the cooling system. Methanol in the washers.

I thought it was isopropyl mainly.

That is what monkeys are after when you see them sucking on the washer
nozzles in safari parks. The drivers usualy oblige with a squirt.

What ever, it isn't glycol which is the point. I'm not going out to
the garage to look at my container to see what particular alcohol it
has in it...

Actually its about the cheapest way to buy ispopropyl alcohol, which is
one of the nicest cleaners aroudn - very unaggressive -for cleaning PC
keytboards and screens etc.

I have just bought the very same from a fibreglass vendor, CFS. Telephone
01209 821028. I have purchased polyester resin too and I have never used
such high quality resin. It flows and wets incredibly well, dries in a
sensible time and isn't sticky when cured. The service and prices are also
excellent in my opinion.
