Hand sanitizer

Because of the pandemic I am having a very hard time finding iso rubbing alcohol and I have run completely out. This may be a dumb question, but can I use hand sanitizer instead? I can find it in abundance. I thought hand sanitizer was mostly alcohol so i figured i could use it just to wipe down jars, my hands, tools, etc before sab work and stuff. I have work to do and cant without something. So just wanted confirmation from someone that hand sanitizer was an ok substitute.

Do not use hand sanitizer, I have had no trouble finding any rubbing alcohol for the last several months.
If you're desperate enough here is a bottle on amazon for 10 dollars

But I have been getting bigger bottles at winco for under 2 bucks.

Have you checked places like gas stations, on the first aid shelf? Those seem to get overlooked.

What do you need the rubbing alcohol for? There might be a way around using it at all.
in fact often times, newbs attempt to sanitize something actually is just increasing contamination vectors.

Hand sanitizers usually contains things other than alcohol, like mosturizers, etc... If you are having troubles finding ISO and stuff check amazon or other online retailers. Alternatively depending on what you are doing you might be able to use grain alcohol or something similar.

It’s the glycerol and Propylene glycol that makes it thick
This stuff tastes pretty good, but has a bitter aftertaste

Sounds like they're leaving out an ingredient, normally there is some kind of plant like greasy oily like additive in it.

Polyquaternium-10 Featured snippet from the web Overview. Polyquaternium-10 is a white granular powder with a characteristic amine odor. In cosmetics and personal care products, it is used mainly in the formulation of hair care products, lotions and makeup. When used in hair care products, Polyquaternium-10 can reduce static electricity.
There it is, that is your plant like greasy oily like product based on its description, lotions, make up that is the give away.
