Been using a bic light er to heat syring and was thinking about buying an alcohol burner. Can u use rubbing alcohol. I know this sounds dumb, but I really don't know what type to use. I have some shine that is really hard to tell if it is burning, I hace rubbing alcohol and I have some old #7. Would preferr to use rubbing if it safe.

Denatured alcohol (local hardware store) or grain alcohol (like Everclear)@ local liquor store
don't use iso in a alcohol burner...it'll probably explode...
