I try to pick up a gallon when I drive over the border to the USA
It's not available in Canada anymore, except in a different form meant to
use as a bio fuel.  I spoke to the chemist and he said we should not use it
for shellac for some reason that was proprietary (ie what was in the 4 %
that was not ethanol).

Oddly enough, methanol is readily available, but this is far more toxic
than ethanol!  Don't you hate it when pencil heads make the regulations?
