Hi All, Just a quick word of caution about backyard methanol. It definitely is not ethanol. The direct meaning is it is a deadly toxin than can be readily absorbed through the skin and inhaled into the lungs. I«m certain a very small percentage of the population has a very small capacity to detoxify this in their liver. The vast majority can«t tolerate it at all. In direct laymans terms, first you go blind then you die usually of acidosis. Sounds scary and painful to me. I«m trying desperately to use ethanol when I make Bio D. I«ve had some success. But quite frankly I have never had a bad batch when I used methanol. I«m fairly certain I know why but won«t mention it here cause it«s probably in the archieves that Keith keeps pounding on me to read. :-> Sorry but the letters are just too darn interesting for the moment.
