As everyone is finding out theres a massive shortage of iso atm. I'm in the uk and theres dick heads on ebay selling it for 30 a litre. I've found a company that has surgical spirit 90% the rest is distilled water. Can this be used instead of iso without issues ?

I'm probably going to ferment some sugar and distill it in the following days.

Isopropyl is a different process. Ethanol is a substitute it comes from fermentation.

You can call your local liquor store and maybe order 200 proof they may want you to fill out a paper to get it. And just say on the form its for making perfume, herbal tincture extracts, and that kinda stuff

At least where I live, you can get that on grocery store shelves, but shit's expensive. A shit ton of alcohol tax.
Denatured alcohol is way cheaper.

All the local stores here are out of rum 151 and everclear or anything close to that proof. All they had left was 50 proof and I laughed at the lady.

Hard to find rum 151 in general Bacardi stopped selling it in the US in 2016. There's other brands but it's usually not found at anything but specialty liquor stores.
