Methanol

[William R. Monroe]

James, List,

I'm sure this has been discussed, and I may look the fool to ask, but, any
reason not to use denatured alcohol (aka ethanol, aka grain alcohol)?  I
keep a bottle of anhydrous denatured alcohol on hand for mixing/dissolving
shellac flakes.  Is there a reason to stay away from this for piano work?
It is much less harmful to us/environment, although it does evaporate
slightly more slowly than methanol.

curious as george,
William R. Monroe

Thanks to both Barbara Richmond and Bill Monroe.  Actually, I need only a
small amount after I ream, iron and then cure the bushings in the damper
rail on an SD10.  Yep, it's nasty stuff, alright, but so are hanging
dampers.
