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.
