[R-390] The Slippery TD

[rbethman]

List,

I have spent an untold number of hours researching this on line. I 
didn't look just for Ethanol!

I will say that I have never seen anyplace like this.  It was NOT this 
way when I retired here.

The latest suggestion to look for electronics grade Isopropyl, [sic] is 
something I have already run down in this research.

Somewhere during the period since I retired here from Uncle Sam, 
Everything has  REALLY changed.

The Electronics Grade Isopropyl Alcohol has become another one of those 
that requires a license and a specific permit.  Only it is from a 
different division of this State Government.

I can walk into a State ABC store and pick up a bottle of 151 proof 
Rum.  I can also walk into a Firearms Emporium and pick up a 7lb can of 
gunpowder and no one bats an eye.

Things have become very convoluted here for reasons that I can not find 
out or get questions replied to.

Everyone just relax.  As I stated in my earlier post, I will deal with it.

Roger and Charles both pointed out that simply getting the highest 
percentage of alcohol and using it will work.  I've prepared for that 
*IF* that is the only available option.

I've already been planning how to get what "used" to be at hand in the 
laboratory environment that I was once in.

I'm not hyper or anything even remotely close to it.  I'm just rolling 
with what is, and will resolve it.
