Subject: RE: plexiglass cleaning From: John Gonzalez (indigoonlatigo@msn.com) Date: Mon Nov 17 - 7:14 PM 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!
