Re: [IRCA] Rosined Radio Help Needed

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have to apologize.  Indeed, Iso-propyl alcohol is not the same as
ethanol.   Ethanol is booze, and it is what I thought that I ordered in my
medical practice, but checking just now, I may be wrong.  IsoPropyl 99%
pure.  So very toxic Methanol is CH4O, EThanol is a larger molecule:
 C2H6O, while Isopropyl is bigger still:  C3H8O.  The stuff I have at home
at the moment is 99% Iso-Propyl, but I swear that the stuff in the office
is 99.8% pure Ethanol.  In any case, I use it as a disinfectant before
injections.  I do agree with Chuck that in normal use, don't worry about
it.  There were a lot more toxic stuff in the old days.  Remember Benzene?
