The stuff to look for in ethanol, is Everclear (98%). You can get it at liquor
stores. It was actually used during WWII as an optical cleaner used for
periscope lenses on submarines, but being potable they sell it as booze (with
all the appropriate taxes). In some WWII stories from the South Pacific you
sometimes come across a drink they called "torpedo juice". It was Everclear and
pineapple juice. I think it is obvious from the above how some booze wound up
with a name like Everclear.

You should be able to get small bottles of propanol from a

what it is for. Ethanol, in its pure form, is considerably more
expensive, for obvious reasons. Vodka might work, but you would really
be wasting it.......
