Hi Brian, Get distilled water at any grocery store. I'm not sure about the methylated spirit, but I was able to get hexane from VWR Scientific www.vwrsplcom . Please note that any reagent grade will satisfy, but the cheapest is the way to go. One liter will last a lifetime, about $15 usd.
Please note that, to obtain this material you must offer the supplier your employer's Federal EPA number. Oddly enough, I was years ago directed by my field engineer at UL NBK, to use WD-40 to perform the permanency test. Later on somebody tightened the sphincter and would not accept my test data, so I was forced to purchase hexane and use it and water for all tests (60950). All results were the same.
