Default Methonal purchase ???

Where do you buy this stuff at? I know places that sell race fuel sells it, but is there any stores that sell it?
Anyone on here from Portland/Vancouver area know a place? I thought I read someone say Walmart once, but went there last night and I could only find Denture Alcohol.
And what is it generally used for (Besides spraying in a motor)?
Also what would be a second choice?

You got it, Denatured Alcohol. Since I do not live near a track, I buy from Home Depot or Lowes.

Thanks, but I live too far and that is too much to keep in my garage. I just want a gallon or two.

I use the boost juice as well as a couple of bottles of Heat. You will find it in the automotive section at Walmart. Small yellow bottles $.99 each. The boost juice is 50% water, so the extra heat brings up around 35% water.

Good luck.
