The useful thing about alcohol-based solvents is that they are miscible with both water and organic compounds.

Anyone got a source for undyed meths without the pyridine ? I'm using it as a solvent for shellac in french polishing. I can live with the methanol, but the stench of pyridine is horrible.
Price not really an issue !
At the moment I'm using pure (sic) ethanol, which is a royal pain to get hold of.

But mostly glycol
Glycol in the cooling system. Methanol in the washers.
Not in washers - glycol smears like crazy. It used to be used, but not for a couple of decades.
Radiator coolant is a glycol. Either ethylene glycol in the cheap stuff, or propylene glycol in the non-poisonous sort.

No, you don't want to put glycol in washers, it's not good for paintwork.
In fact, routed through Wilkinsons today and it is in fact £1.19 for 500mL. Paul R
I thought it was isopropyl mainly.
That is what monkeys are after when you see them sucking on the washer nozzles in safari parks. The drivers usualy oblige with a squirt.

What ever, it isn't glycol which is the point. I'm not going out to the garage to look at my container to see what particular alcohol it has in it...
Actually its about the cheapest way to buy ispopropyl alcohol, which is one of the nicest cleaners aroudn - very unaggressive -for cleaning PC keytboards and screens etc.
I have just bought the very same from a fibreglass vendor, CFS. Telephone
01209 821028. I have purchased polyester resin too and I have never used such high quality resin. It flows and wets incredibly well, dries in a sensible time and isn't sticky when cured. The service and prices are also excellent in my opinion.
I thought you used Ether for refining cocaine.
Shows how littel I know about it doesn't it.
Most French supermarkets have it in one litre bottles.
