Hi Derek, I'm not sure about where to tell you to look for the KOH, but the NaOH is fairly common around my neck of the woods as Red Devil lye drain opener. I haven't found a major supplier of methanol yet, but since I'm experimenting with small batches, .5 to 1 litre, I can get what I need as HEET gas line dryer. It's only 75 cents per 12 oz bottle at a local retailer.
I'll be more than happy to pass along any information I find about the KOH.

I am really curious where people are getting the chemicals like KOH and sulphuric acid, so hopefully so of the seasoned veterans will shed some light there. I understand that lye works well, though I am interested in testing KOH as an alternative, since some folks seem to swear by it. I am also hoping to get into the acid-base method down the road, but that is still some time into the future.
