Before doing something stupid, I thought I should ask. I am getting ready to distill some more grappa and plum brandy this year, so as a result of the process I will have methanol on my hands. Since this compound resulting as a side product cannot be consumed (going blind being the drunk's least of concerns) I was thinking of using it for leaning various tobacco related products. In the past I have given it away to the elders in my family, they sure like to use it as rubbing alcohol, but they have plenty, and I am sure to have left overs.
I am thinking, that since it comes out pretty pure even from the first run, to use it in order to clean lighter parts, such as butane nozzles, or maybe even disinfect parts in estate restorations. Now this just occurred to me, and I am not sure it is such a good idea. Is it pure enough? (it may be better than the general brand of rubbing alcohol one gets from the pharmacy) Can it do any damage, clog parts, or even damage stems? Ideas?
