Any non-chemical house place to get pure(ish) methanol, not methylated spirits?

I don't like the thought of buying from a chemical house. Also that i dont know of any chemical houses in brisbane.

Check the hydro shops, they're selling a solvent for those overpriced 'hash bags',which are just a series of silk filters,anyway..it's some type of legal solvent which has almond oil,and some other aromatic to dodge the legal shit!

You could use it in a soxhlet extraction,I guess??

Chem-heads enlighten us on this! :confused: :confused:

The stuff in hydro shops appears to be ethanol with some essential oils as denaturants.

Methanol can be bought from BP fuel depots or from many toy stores (model racing car stores), however the latter is often mixed with nitromethane or oils, so be careful when evaporating
