Where to get pure ethyl alcohol fuel / “culinary solvent”; also known as “bio ethanol fuel” /tabletop torch fuel -NOT tiki or oil based fuels w/bug repellents?
I’m really surprised I can’t find this anywhere. I’m not looking for denatured alcohol to be clear as that’s illegal to retail in California and I would also prefer a less unhealthy fuel. I need this to be a clean burning source of fuel for a small alcohol/spirit lamp. I cannot use oil based fuels, fuels with bug repellent, or regular rubbing or isopropyl alcohol as I need something that doesn’t produce soot. Tiki brand can’t be used. I am using it for wax jewelry work.
Unfortunately 150 proof ever clear is also illegal to retail in California.
I’m hoping someone who makes tinctures or something would know. Thanks
Lowe’s and home depot don’t have it?
