isopropyl alcohol Where from?

Drug store or hardware store should have it.

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

Twas a few years back though.

Maplin do it in a wd-40 type can and straw

As I said in my post, no luck locally.

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!

Not sure just how many chemists stock isoproyl alcohol, but purchased mine from the first chemist I went to. I know chemists are reluctant to sell it, as being alcohol, it can be consumed.

I use it for mixing with distilled water to use with my record cleaning machine. Perhaps if you have a word with the chemist, and convince him of your reason for use, the chemist might just find some lurking beneath the counter.

I got 500ml from boots.

Thanks but I want to walk in and buy some if possible tomorrow.

Ordered from these guys before with no problems. The ebay option above may be easier, though.

I see. Did you ask for isopropyl alcohol or 'rubbing' alcohol as its commonly known? TBH the person in boots was probably a moron and had no clue what you were asking about.
