I got 500ml from boots.
Well I tried today and they said they did not sell it, maybe I'll have a go in a different branch. If not I'll have to try more chemists.
k all about chemicals .. find a back street independant.. the kinda owner who is also the Parmacist.I have the same problem buying Fullers Earth, "flowers" of sulphur, activated charcol and Potassium permanganate (KMNO4)
also, never buy the above products with salt peter ... they look at you as if yoru some kind of terrorist !

i needed some to strip the polish off my parade boots. got it from the chemist. ask for rubbing alcohol, cost me £5.** for 500ml. was a NUMARK chemist if that helps. Or try a photographers, as they use it for something or other the chemist told me.
old spice and a match used to work

I tried to buy some in boots, they looked at me blankly whilst i said propan-2-ol and IPA, and as soon as I said isopropyl alcohol they said "we don't see alcohol" and just kept repeating that as I explained it wasn't alcohol...
oh well...
So propan-2-ol isn't an alcohol then...oh well...

Anyone know where I can get some isopropyl alcohol from? I want a shop or store I can walk in and get a litre. I need it for cleaning stuff!....Honest! Boots and other Chemists I have tried don't sell it.
If you're in London you could try this place. It's near Goldhawk Rd Tube Station.It's where I/we always get it from, we use it in the beauty salon/M.U.A trade.

A backstreet chemist should be able to find this sort of stuff for you. What do you want it for though?
