This is useful information! Thanks Rick. I scouted my city (Toronto) for methanol, was advised to order from an Ottawa company, who referred me to an upstate New York company because of the grade of purity, this 99% or better thing. These guys are graciously sending me 4 litres for Cdn $65., which is a prohibitive cost, boys. And a two week delivery, this is silly.
Didn't even buy our goggles yet.
