I've just used the last of my hoarded IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to clean the eyepieces of my wife's binoculars. She doesn't deserve it as she _never_ puts the caps on, nor uses the pouch they came with. They are nice bins, expensive and carefully chosen and it's infuriating to see them unnecessarily covered in large freshwater fish*... do I sound annoyed?
Sorry. To get back to the topic, I now need some IPA, but the chemist, where I used to buy it over the counter, cannot supply. Does anybody have any suggestions as to somewhere retail I can buy it? I am rather leery of mail-order, because of the fact it's a volatile liquid, and there are many ways in which it might cause problems in transit, also meaning it will never arrive.
I'm probably being too cautious, but hey. It's not the sort of thing a builders' merchant will carry, and I'm at a bit of a loss - anybody got any clever ideas (or a bomb-proof on-line or postal supplier?
TIA, E.
