Thanks for the info. I am not looking to drink said alcohol. I am going to be using it as a solvent to make medicine. The alcohol content needs to be 95% or higher.
Any hardware stores, pharmacy's, or grocery stores in the area sell 99% isopropyl alcohol(not the denatured kind)?
Thanks

I'm only seeing 70% here...the pharmacies aren't carrying more than that...will keep my eyes open...it may be banned here :) :)
I have kept my eyes open for such things when in Jamaica, have never seen anything more than overproof rum.
You might want to look into rosin tech, you'll only need parchment paper and a hair straightener for that.
I think you could probably manage to travel with a small amount of isopropyl, but that's never been my first... or second... or even third choice when making medicine.
Please don't even think about ingesting isopropyl alcohol. Please read this MSDS: http://babec.org/files/MSDS/isopropanol.pdf

That are availabe in Jamaica? That is the key.Quote:

I've used overproof in the past.
When I lived in Corning NY, we used to make the short drive to PA to hit the State Store to buy pints of Pharmco Grain Alcohol @ 190 proof. Makes very sneaky Screwdrivers. When you hear 60Hz buzzing in your head, you've had too many! Not much of a hangover, except for the dehydration!
Unfortunately grain alcohol is not available in Ontario. I can use isopropyl no problem as long as it's not denatured. For anyone who doesn't know, Google Rick Simpson oil or watch 'Run From The Cure'
"John Crow Batty" if you can find it? don't know the alcohol content but I think its more than Overproof.
exactly lola , there is moonshine available in Jamaica , proof will vary . that is why my advice was , ask a Jamaican . Most overproof sold is only 120 .Quote:
