where the hell can one cheaply (and, might i add, legally...) get mass amounts of isopropanol alcohol (tis an alcohol, right?) from?

you're sounding a bit like my mate who did a chemistry degree and once drunkenly pondered on becoming a financial terrorist, holding banks to ransom threatening to blow up stuff with his new found explosive and toxin knowledge (all part of the learnin') unless they funded him a good deal of cold, hard, untraceable wedge.

but he instead briefly dabbled in 'recreational pharmaceuticals' (also gives you the knowledge) before settling back to brew his own (suspiciously strong) ale.

lol actually thats a very good point! my old man buys and sells it as part of his business (he deals in chemicals/paints/floowing textiles) so i guess i didnt think about access to it!

still- chemistry is fun! :D
