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.

I've got it from Boots in the past but had to go to the pharmacy for it.

Drug store or hardware store should have it.

That's what I thought however in the UK there appears to be a problem now getting it, probably some new regulation or law brought in to protect us vulnerable citizens!

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.
