When I added a few bits of magnesium sheet to plain dry methanol (no halogenated compounds) it reacted completely within a few hours at room
temperature, forming hydrogen and a sort of gel that I presume was magnesium methoxide.

Add nitromethane to the magnesium methoxide, magnesium nitronate will precipitate and is easily filtered and dried.
Should be a interesting compound!!

forgot to mention
For the AlCl3 creation, you're going to lose most of it as smoke if you just ignite CuCl2 with aluminum in the open! Sublimation is friend
and foe  .

yepp, I realised that later too.... so the whole thermite reaction got to be done in a closed container --> i.e. a little ceramic plate with the
mixture on top, and this whole thing plus fuse being in a large glass with lid + a tiny hole to allow hot air to escape of course Quite neat really, the AlCl3 is purified during the course of the reaction!

because the oxyde layer there's not reaction
but try to put some CuCl2 on it, you'll see ...
