My initial question is to Alex and to anyone else who is using his two-step process. Is it possible to use 95% or purer ethanol as a reagent instead of the methanol? I assume that it would have to be very pure to be successful. I haven't tried it on paper, nor dusted off my rusty Chemistry skills as yet. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it. IF it works this would be a plus in that ETOH is a renewable solvent and a little less detrimental to the nervous system. At that purity it will still require care in working with it, but that would make things more renewable. Anyway I'm just bouncing it off the group to see what everyone thinks. Now I'll go off and find my Chemistry texts to get myself back up to speed and try it out on paper....
