Denatured alcohol where to buy in canada

It is in the isle with furnaces filters and fire place parts. OK, so indeed, they had it in the store. Thanks so much for the find again. A friend of mine also recommended to get a bottle of methyl hydrate from Canadian Tire or Home Depot — paint section. That is even cheaper, burns great but does not have the blue colouring of the Captain PHAB, which left some blue residue in my stove after burning.

Both work great for any alcohol stove. Many thanks! I should have googled first — I made the mistake of assuming it would be around in any hardware store. In other words, for the same energy content as one liter or one gallon of gasoline, one needs 1. This may be more than just getting more heat for the same weight and volume; a stove designed for ethanol may run sub-optimally on methanol. The sizes of the holes from which the vapour comes out may assume a certain amount of flame will be produced, enough to keep the alcohol below vaporizing at the right rate.

Most stoves run OK on both — just better on ethanol. I guess Da Man would prefer that bums and other cheapskates actually DIE and thereby learn not to get around the liquor taxes, not just have to learn how to choke down a gross flavour. As for why governments would require alcohol to be denatured with something which can cause blindness, this seems to be both a vestige of our past extreme intolerance of intoxication and our toleration for central government over-reach.

But that is another question! Calgary is a good place to find chem-lab materials, there are a lot of labs in town via the oil industry. Or less — it sure costs less when used for cars! Just wanted to say thank you for your diligence! I struck out at the local big boxes here.

Of interest though, is that all of these stores carry Recochem brand solvents paint thinner, mineral spirits, varsol, etc. This is of interest because Recochem also makes Denatured Alcohol:. If that fails, there is a local marine supply store, Brydon Marine, that is listed as a Captain Phab retailer. The last alternative is Home Hardware and their Fondue Fuel.

No word on Rona, but I have no faith that the answer will be any different. Thanks again. I purchased an EcoSmart zero-vent fireplace this year. It burns denatured alcohol so stores that sell this fireplace all stock it. They are sold across Canada. But you beat them to the punch. Thanks for the info! I use DNA in model building. I was lucky that my wife, a biologist, had access to lab supplies. Then search product Been looking everywhere for DNA in Ontario with no luck. No one has it, and they all try to sell me methanol instead despite my telling them its not the same.

Gonna grab a gallon next time I cross the border. I thought I saw 4l jugs on sale in the marine dept. I was going crazy trying to find the DA. I saw the Captain Phab at Steveston Hardware but was put off by the name and stove fuel labels.

Nn pump up my suspension and stop fragging over speed bumps! Any Home Hardware store should be able to special order denatured alcohol for you. They call it marine alcohol. Hope this helps. Love the Capital Iron store, wish we had something like that over here in Vancouver. Did you ever find your denatured alcohol from Canada for delivery in Ghana and use in hospitals and cosmetics as you mention??? Where are you located? Google Greenfield Ethynol.

They sell it cheap and in bulk. If you are in medical field, this should not be a problem. So I tried the recommended Captain Phab marine alcohol unfortunately none of the marine stores in Calgary carried it.

Among all the places that I had called, only Glenmore Boats offered to bring some in for me. Currently out of stock plus a long drive to go all the way to the SE.

Are you sure? I've heard that it has a dirty flame -- leaves a dirty residue. According to Wikipedia rubbing alcohol may be based on isopropanol or ethanol. The former burns dirty. The bottle may or may not be more specific — Chris H. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name.

Last chain i was lazy and just did dishsoap in hot water after degreaser had some engine bay cleaner in garage. Worked just as well. Just as long as it is something relatively good as paint thinner or any automotive degreaser it would do the trick.

Millions of choices, like brake cleaner for example, designed to degrease rotors. Stinks af, can etch paint, similar to acetone. Pretty much anything in CT that says degreaser would do.

Yeah, I just use hot water and dishwashing liquid before switching to squirt. If using a new chain, I run it until the factory grease has come off, then use bike degeaser, then hot soapy water. Dry it a bit and then put squirt on.

After setting fire to our cooker with a different fuel type and nearly getting pulled by the mounties, it was cold food only for the rest of the trip. Unfortunately methylated spirits is not listed as a available product on the Canadian Tire website. For cleaning gunked up chain from previous oil, other dry lubes or new chain grease, soak in undiluted Squirt Biodegradable Bike Cleaner Concentrate for 30 minutes and use firm brush to accelerate the dissolving action.
