Can I use Rubbing Alcohol to mix with SpectraFix Concentrate?
Yes, you certainly can. It will work quite well, however it is not as ‘clean’ an alcohol as pure grain alcohol and it smells much more strongly. It is usually made by what is called a “strong acid” method in which it is passed through strong Sulfuric Acid. This results in an alcohol which has possible toxicity issues, although some would argue this. There is another method for making Rubbing Alcohol (also known as Isopropyl Alcohol or IPA) which is know as the ‘Direct Hydration’ method, and which is less toxic, however most of the IPA in the US is made using the Sulfuric Acid method. Please bear this in mind when you spray, and avoid inhaling the mist. To protect your health, I do not recommend using Rubbing Alcohol in a classroom situation or in poorly ventilated rooms.
