You can get the itty bitty bottles of vodka for about $1. They're 80 proof which means 40% alcohol %60 water, about the right mixture. Easy to transport, already mixed, perfect amount for a hyo oiler.

I hope I made my point clear that I use a >50% alcohol/water mix the first pass and then subsequent passes get <50% alsohol/water mix. Even cheap Vodka is pretty expensive. Any hardware store should have pint/quart/gallon cans of denatured alcochol quite cheap. Unless, of course, you have other uses for the Vodka - but then you'd probably be getter some of the better stuff! Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- From: John Formsma <mailto:formsma at gmail.com> SNIP And I might give the Vodka a try tomorrow, Tom. Hic. And, Terry, I have mixed my elixir rather unscientifically as well, but just didn't want to admit it in public. <G> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
