Yep it's flammable. Dat's not what I want to post about.
Hu posted a little post about DNA and what's in the can.
Turns out, like Hu said, some of those cans contain as much as 75% METHANOL - which is NOT ETHANOL.
They look the same smell the same, flash off, almost the same - but they are NOT the same.
I know - "something" is added to the ethanol, otherwise it would be some inexpensive booze. That something is Methanol.
Soo - what's the BAD about it?

It's really BAD to even touch it. Ethanol it not bad, even good, but NOT so for Methanol.
I found Parks Pure DNA as the highest percentage so far at 85% ETHANOL. The others are 15-50% where MOST are in the 15% range.
I don't know about you, but DNA does touch my hands. Actually, a lot. I will expire the DNA I have now and when I replace it - I will be SURE it is mostly Ethanol.
I am glad HU posted it. I just want to be sure more people read it.
The can is not labeled with contents - you NEED to read the MSDS
