Can pure alcohol be bought in PP?
Methanol is much cheaper. Is the OP wanting to make up some rice wine for a funeral or wedding??
If op is making hash oil, then buy pure alcohol from any pharmacy, pink top bottle, my friend said.
Massive stalker
He'd be better off asking where you can buy a cheap supply of butane if that's what he wanted it for. Heat and alcohol vapor aren't good friends, as a lot of people in Goa found out a few years ago. Nice oil patterns on the ceilings though.

Butane is rather flammable too.

Extremely. But you don't need to burn it off like you do if making oil with ethanol. Don't use methanol if making oil. It tastes shit.Lucky Lucan wrote:Butane is rather flammable too.
BTW, is all this methanol poisoning at weddings etc just lack of knowledge or is it done to make money on purpose. Hard to imagine it would be the second choice, but who knows.

I think it's sometimes just a nasty by-product made during the distilling. There have also been cases of unscrupulous individuals making hooch out of industrial alcohols like butanol, methanol etc.Abou-Gor wrote:

Isn't that an acetone based nail polish remover? It's mixed with all sorts of things that don't oxidate at room temperature. It kills your lung cells, don't smoke that.pedros wrote:If op is making hash oil, then buy pure alcohol from any pharmacy, pink top bottle, my friend said.

Khmer pharmacies call it "alcohol puro" or smth like that.
As long as what you get is PURE (well, 99%) isopropyl alcohol it is fine for extractions and will evaporate over a few hours leaving behind what you want. Costs around a dollar per litre in pharmacies. In a pinch 91% will do, but the 9% water it contains may need an extra day to evap.
The buyer must beware it is pure iso alcohol and not denatured alcohol which will fuck you up/kill you. Most of the brands I have seen are labelled solely in Khmer, so if in doubt don't risk it.
