Denatured alcohol for cleaning old light seals

[Andysnap]

Anyone know where I can get a small quantity of denatured alcohol/meths to remove old light seals? Or is there an alternative?

Cheers

Andy,
Just use methylated spirit, it cleans the gutters out a treat

You can but this at any hardware store.

even easier to get

newsagents ....standard lighter fluid in a can.....£1.25

use in WELL ventilated areas......

also get cuticle sticks from the chemist ...perfect size [of strong wood] to clean out the gutter

Farnells - http://SPAM/5sxwbug

Lighter fluid, that'll get it off (petroleum distillate). Lens cleaner will too but it's not especially strong.

Thanks for the links to the denatured alcohol -


Not sure why denatured alcohol is so expensive though. Vodka is cheaper
