Homebrew PCBs

i'm wondering if there is methanol in any spiritus.

i think you are right, this may dissove plastics.

do you think there are also other substances used or it methanol the usual stuff to make it undrinkable?

i ask this because i thought till now denaturated alcohol is save to use on plastics but i'm not sure if 
there is any which isnt (and don't want a surprise).

also the concentration of ethanol in "spiritus" varies over a wide range.
from the full 96% achieveable by distilling down to 80% i read everything.
i really HATE that tey don't write the ingredients on the bottles.


i will try to ask the manufacturer.


thank you for this suggestion..

regards
stefan
