: Don't ever touch Methanol with your bare hand. It is readily absorb through

: half a shot. Ethanol is what we (shoulde not) drink in party. Isopropanol
: is what we use as rubbing alcohol. The longer the carbon chain, the less
: likely it would absorb through skin. The shorter the more violatile, so we

: Hope this would help.

Hi Tony,

You jogged my memory. We use an industrial brand that was called Isosol, that’s close anyway. I think I remember it was stronger then rubbing alcohol you would buy at the store. It's been a while.
