Alcohol - Methanol


Methanol (Wood Alcohol, Methyl Alcohol). It has many of the properties of ethyl alcohol and mixes readily with it, but it is highly poisonous and can cause permanent injury to the eyes. It has a flash point of 54° F. In small amounts it is sometimes used to denature ethyl alcohol. It should not be kept in the ordinary studio. [pp. 42-43]
