Methylated spirits.
    #7504271 - 10/10/07 05:46 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Could I use methylated spirits in place of rubbing alcohol for all my sterilizing? I did a search and some people were saying yes and some no.

It will sterilize but most methylated spirits can leave toxic residues due to the stuff they put in them to stop people drinking it (even though a couple of shots would kill you anyway) I don't know how those residues would affect the shrooms.

Ethyl alcohol is easily available almost anywhere, so why use anything else?

Is it really? I can buy litre bottles of ethyl alcohol from chemical supply stores for next to nothing. Maybe a euro more per litre that methyl alcohol.

I can understand that buying little bottles from the pharmacy can be more expensive but if you buy bigger amounts it gets a lot cheaper.

And for really big stuff, say tubs or similar, bleach is the even cheaper option.

This is why you should distill them first. It still will be toxic, but it won't leave a residue.

Wikipedia:

"Alcohol Antiseptics

Most commonly used are ethanol (60-90%), 1-propanol (60-70%) and 2-propanol/isopropanol (70-80%) or mixtures of these alcohols. They are commonly referred to as "surgical alcohol". Used to disinfect the skin before injections are given, often along with iodine (tincture of iodine) or some cationic surfactants (benzalkonium chloride 0.05 - 0.5%, chlorhexidine 0.2 - 4.0% or octenidine dihydrochloride 0.1 - 2.0%)."

The more common kind of surgical alcohol is isopropanol (expensive). The stuff I buy is ethyl alcohol at 70% which is probaly why it is cheaper.

That methylated spirit you want to buy is too concentrated but if you diluted it with distilled water it would probably be exactly the same as the stuff I buy.

Since you did revive it, I don’t want anyone reading to think this is good advice. Methanol will literally cause you to go blind. Please don’t drink denatured alcohol, methanol, etc.

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
Old thread. New post about Methanol was about ingestion safety and not about its usefulness in Cultivation. Methylated spirits such as Methanol are not recommended for sanitizing in Cultivation as safer, more effective options are widely available.
