This is sort of a wood question. Methanol was originally "wood" alcohol. I need to get some pure methanol as a base for some Lockwood metal complex aniline dyes I'll be using on an upcoming entry way. I'm going for a fumed look, I had considered actually fuming the door (QSWO), but I'm leaning against that. The dyes are water or alcohol soluble, I'd like to use the alcohol to minimize grain raising, they suggest pure methanol as the solvent of choice, none for sale at the local hardware store. I have denatured, but thats not recommended. So where should I be looking? I'm not even sure what types of stores might carry this.
