Default Alcohol concentration

I live in the middle of nowhere, and even the pharmacy here doesn't carry 99% Isopropyl.

Can I dry 70% with epsom salts to increase the conentration?

Thanks,

SWIM knows what you mean as he lives just to the left of the middle of nowhere. SWIM has dried 70% iso in the past but found it to be a pain in the ass. not to mention how to tell when it was completly anhydrous. depending on what you want to use it for you might check into denatured alky. it has pretty much replaced iso at SWIM`s insane friends house.

I would suggest purchasing either IsoHeet gasline water remover

Or buy some Everclear 95% grain alcohol.



Jam.
