Anhydrous methanol is available from monarch oils in Kitchener at
$27.45 for 5 gal pail and $59.50 for 45 Gal drum. KOH available from
Alphachem in Mississauga 2kg - $27.45
10 kg - $190.50
50 kg - $725.00
You need a hazardous materials transport license to transport more than
2kg and they ask for it. But they will deliver to your door for about
30 bucks.

hey ray,
i produce bio diesel here in vancouver and have found a few
different places that sell methanol and lye. a company called UNIVAR
supplies both products out here for the larger amounts but when i was
first starting i didn't need a 55 gallon drum and a 1kg bag so i found
a smaller place called Xenex and they sold 2 litre quantities. but have
a look in the yellow pages under chemicals here there is about half a
page of listings

Hello
Ray, Jesse and all.
Yes, Jesse, busy is a good word for it just now.
OK Ray, by MeOH, you mean methanol right? (CH4OH).
There are indeed race tracks in the Ottawa area. The Ottodrome
International
Speedway (Stittsville) and Luskville Dragway come to mind. I have no
idea if they
run methanol at either, but you can call them up and see where you get.
(As an
avid electric vehicle guy, I don't hang out with those folks much.)
I'm assuming you are looking for small quantities (10s, not 1000s of
litres).
For methanol, go to Canadian Tire, in the paint section. Find their
paint thinner,
called methyl hydrate. Same thing as methanol. Comes in 4 litre
containers, about
Cdn$8 each, IIRC. So, $40 for 20L.
For Lye (NaOH), try a Home Hardware store. They sell a container about
3 kg, with
resealable lid. Don't recall the price, but not prohibitive.
Forget Fisher Scientific, they don't want to deal with folks like us
(e.g. minimum
charge of $200 per order, before shipping and taxes).
If you are looking for larger quantities, let me know. I did some
research a while
ago. Distributors are looking to deliver multiple (e.g. 10 or more) 200
L barrels
of methanol as a shipment. I think lye was in the order of 1000 kg for
an order
from distributor. In between those, try a company like W.O. Stinson
fuels for the
methanol, and soap-makers suppliers for the lye.

It's your planet. If you won't look after it, who will?
