Just a short video of how my String and Bow Hair Cleaner* is made

It takes about four hours to make four litres of 90% String and Bow Hair Cleaner*

I haven't found anything that does the job better ;)

But it needs to be used in 'moderation' blurry_drunk-2127

*ethanol

Very cool. :-) The "ethanol" that we can purchase here in Florida has additives/impurities. I did manage to get some online though. "Everclear" 190 proof. That is 95% grain alcohol. Perfect to use with varnish, french polish, shellac flakes.... etc.
Good job John.

Well, we can buy alcohol as a drinks (whiskey, vodka, etc.) but there's no pure ethanol for sale anymore.

Ahhhhhhh. That makes sense. So if you need pure grain alcohol you have to make it yourself and in your basement without the knowledge of anyone except for your closest friends???
