Hey

Anyone know where you can get 90%+ Rubbing Alcohol in Australia, specifically NSW. A chemist told me that they won't stock it because they need a liquor license due to the %age of alcohol and it's not worth the cost of the license.

I was thinking hardware stores but if anyone has any info, i'd appreciate it.

Cheers

I bought some at a local chemist shop a couple of years ago, very expensive and I had to go through the third degree with the chemist over why I wanted it.

Mind you the look on his face when I told him was priceless. :-)
