Just check out @Mental_sam's posts, he has a "mental" issue that seems to be plaguing him ever sins he started out here.

In the UK you can find an "absolute" Shrink, just about round any corner :P

Absolute Alcohol:

96% Ethyl Alcohol (found anywhere in the UK) can be dehydrated by means of an excess of fine powdered CaO (Calcium Oxide) and then distilled to form Absolute Alcohol. You need enough CaO to bind the 4% Water in this Alcohol, which then forms Ca(OH)2 (Calcium Hydroxide) as a slag to the bottom.

And if you are interested in making your own Alcohol, then you may find the following links to be of benefit to you:

@Ozone, now please don't make things to complicated for @Mental_sam, for he may decide to decant the mix afterall. Now that's a short corner to long day !

Do they also sell CaO (Calcium Oxide) in the UK ?

Now this seems to be question for the next post and another thread.

Come and live Holland @Mental_sam, we sell CaO and Absolute Alcohol down here.

Wow !, I live in paradise ! :o

From paradise, :cool:
