Okay=2C it has been quite a number of years since my organic chemistry days
=2C but indeed denatured alcohol may have methanol added to the ethanol so 
that it cannot be easily converted to drinkable ethanol=2C but basically me
thanol is just a primary alcohol containing only one carbon atom=2C four hy
drogen and one oxygen. Isopropyl alcohol has three carbon atoms=2C eight hy
drogens and one oxygen. Isopropyl comes in different purities=2C some with 
higher water concentrations than others. One more distilled then other.I wo
uld think that ethanol=2C denatured alcohol=2C or high or low grade isoprop
yl would all be safe for plexi...at least that has been my experience with 
my RV 10=2C all my RC airplanes and the plastic canopies on my Ravell and M
onogram plastic models as a kid. Has someone had a bad experience with meth
anol=2C not to be confused with methane...your spouse's gas after that rich
 dinner. Thanks for bringing me back to my organic chemistry atom model bui
lding days in undergrad.Now I just build teeth and planes=2C what ever happ
ened to all that knowledge I once had...so sad! John G> Date: Mon=2C 17 Nov
