    Went to Home Depot here to get some ZEP Citrus, and hopefully Iso Alcohol.

    I asked a few people in the paint department but no luck, and I also read denatured alcohol would would so I asked about that. Randomly I get a funny look, and he tells me they don't sell it as people would drink it. What the heck! Would Walmart have it?

    Really? You guys must have strange laws. In the states we can get it at most any drug store, Target, Walmart, and grocery store.

    I picked up some isopropyl alcohol at walmart... 91% or something. I've seen it on sale at shoppers too, they are my supply for distilled water. People drinking it? Heck they could steal hand sanitizers for some alcohol, cough syrup etc by the same extension :giggle:

    I'm in Canada as well. I think you're just looking in the wrong type of stores. Any store with a drug or pharmacy section should sell it.

    You can get four bottles at Costco for about $8, each bottle is 16oz. They are 99% alcohol so you can dilute it quite a bit.

    Paint prepping solvent solution, similar to prepsol, used to be called aquasol
