Where can I find isopropyl alcohol?

I can't seem to find any, and my heads are in desperate need of a cleaning.

Go to any drug store and, if need be, ask the pharmacist for at least 90% (or higher) isopropyl alcohol.

I suggest also appearing as deranged as possible when asking the pharmacist!

Cheers!

Funny you mention it, my roommate just went grocery shopping and decided to get me some alcohol since I've been bitching about getting some for a few days.

She came back with a bottle entitled "Rubbing Alcohol Isopropyl" and below that, 70%.

I don't think I should use this stuff.

I've used it, just not as good at cleaning.

If anyone in the US is still looking, this might be of help:

...they seem to have a number of variants and the quantities are a little on the large side, but it might come in handy.

also, the part that isnt alcohol is.............. water.

Freeze it on its side. Maybe the alcohol wont freeze and youll be able to avoid the water? Completely absurd. Sorry I posted.

 

[toobalicious]

my point is that generally speaking, you dont want water near anything electronic. besides, and aside from the cleaning aspect, "rubbing" alcohol evaporates much much slower than "pure" iso alcohol.

rubbing alcohol also contains things like mineral spirits and oils.... never use this stuff... try a paint store... there's is generally 90+%...
