This is something you can get at Home Depot, in the paint section (denatured alcohol).

They sell Methanol at Wal-Mart or just about any auto parts store. Go to the automotive section. Look for a little yellow 12 oz bottle called HEET - Gas line antifreeze. It is pure meth. I learned this from S_J_H here a long time ago. Goes for like 79 cents a bottle (= about $8 per gallon). It is better to buy it in bulk, but this is very convenient.

Don't get the ISO HEET in the red bottle, that is not methanol, it is isopropyl alcohol.
