Re: for Jeremy and all - everclear source

[Dan Corsillo <dan_corsillo@rogers.com>]

You might try seeing if your pharmacy or chemical supply house (i. e. 
Alfa) has 90% denatured alcohol (ethanol) if you can't get everclear in 
your state. Most scientific labs stock what they call "absolute alcohol" 
for cleaning and disinfecting lab apparatus.

Here's a link: http://www.fishersci.com/wps/portal/HOME and search for 
ethanol.

There'll be a long list ranging from 20 proof to 200 proof and of 
various grades from "reagent" least expensive to "analytical" highest 
purity. Note this stuff is denatured by the addition of other alcohols 
so it is not suitable for drinking.

Hope that helps
