You can get denatured alcohol from the hardware store, but I think that
can contain methanol which I wouldn't suggest using because of toxicity
and because it melts more things than ethanol. Methanol will go through
your skin so you need ventilation and the correct gloves.
Rubbing alcohol from the drugstore can contain some oils that you don't
want.
If you can get Everclear in your state and you can afford the tax on it,
I'd say buy that.

Not quite. Pure ethanol is a *practical* impossibility.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everclear_(alcohol)
It comes in 75.5 percent (151 proof) and 95 percent ethanol (190 proof)
varieties. Sale of the 95 percent is banned in some states.
The 91 percent drug store denatured alcohol would be as good a choice for all
practical purposes...except consumption.
