cheap isopropyl alcohol...!!!

[backers]

this may be of use...or maybe not....but no harm in sharing

had to clean my CPU to re fit my cooler and tried to get hold of some isopropyl alcohol.....being in cumbria and asking various shops got looks as if i was deffo up to sommit dodgy like...me...as if....

anyways cutting the story short....rather than paying £4/5 for tub of the stuff marked up CPU cleaner, found that a bog standard CD/DVD cleaner (£1!!) pack contained a solution to clean that was 100% isopropyl alcohol...used it and worked like a treat...

ppl may already know this but if you didnt you do now.........

did you try Maplins in Carlisle? they sell CPU cleaner for 2.99 and you get a decent amount aswell..

Yup, you can safely say anyone who drinks that has done themselves some serious damage in the gut department!

I think it can cause blindness if you drink it.

I seem to remember something on telly a while back where some snide vodka was isopropyl alcohol and it made a load of people blind. Might have been ethanol come to think of it and i think it was deafness.

[Biscuit]

Have you been drinking it clunk?

[DDY]

I'm pretty sure IPA doesn't cause blindness.

Some organic chemicals once ingested are metabolised into formaldehyde which causes blindness. The most notorious chemical which causes this is methanol, found in anti-freeze and methylated spirits.

I just mince over to superdrug and get the nail varnish remover with the least amount of crap in it. Never been a problem so far
