100% Methylated Spirts for French Polishing
Last weekend at the mini woodworking show I picked up a kg of Shellac Flakes from Neil (and a snazzy little notepad and pen thankyou!). Following a search on the forums for mixing instructions I noticed that there was quite some trouble tracking down 100%Methylated Spirits (ethanol). It would appear that the stuff at Bunnies have a large water quantity and there were questions raised over what was available at M10.
Anyway after finding from these forumns that Haymes Paints stocked a 100% Methylated Spirts I decided to head down to a stockist in Bay Street Port Melbourne.
I didn't see the Haymes brand but I did find "Sceneys" 100% Methylated Spirits. It quite clearly states on the label that it contains 1000mL/L ethanol for use in french polishing. Now I did fail calculus in uni the first time around but I am guessing that the 1 litre that I purchased will contain 1000mL of ethanol :doh:
There were larger sizes available but I purchased the 1L for $9.25.
The manufacturers details are as follows:
SCENEYS PTY LTD
17 Third Ave
Sunshine Vic 3020.
Just though that some recent information may be of assistance to others.
