Methylated Spirits 20L

Use methylated spirits (denatured ethanol or ethyl alcohol) as an all purpose cleaner, disinfectant and as fuel for spirit stoves, lamps and alcohol heaters.

 

This has become an extremely popular seller as a fuel for the Ecosmart Metho Heaters that have become increasingly common as domestic heaters.

 

Methylated spirits is a raw alcohol and menthol. The menthol gives it a strong smell and taste, so it is not mistaken for water. Its a solvent for paints, so it removes ink, texta, felt pen marks etc and is also a great all purpose cleaner. Mixing it 50/50 with water and spraying the solution on windows to clean the panes is also a great idea. Wipe the solution off again using paper towels, rubbing vertically for outside panes (following the rain line) and horizontally for interior panes. Do not use newspaper - it used to work when it contained lampblack (which was a great glass polish) but it does not contain it anymore, it now contains latex and will leave smear marks. Metho is also great for cleaning white boards, even if you have used a permanent marker on the board. Methylated spirits can be used to dissolve shellac to make lacquer (one of my favourites). Lacquer can be hand brushed, air brushed or sprayed to seal timber prior to more intense finishing processes. Great news for you scroll sawers out there.

 

Finally, metho is a great fuel for heating as it converts almost completely to heat with very little residue or smell.  Compare a metho heater to an electric fan heater, and it's immediately clear that the fan heater is comparatively very inefficient.
