Susan:
"Methylated spirits" is primarily ethanol (you know, the kind of alcohol you
find in booze) with methanol added (you know, the kind of alcohol that can kill
you dead or leave you blind and brain-damaged). Hence the "methylated." You
might try high-proof vodka (if the ethanol's the active ingredient), methanol
(if that's the active ingredient) or perhaps isopropyl alcohol (also known as
"rubbing alcohol," and sold in various dilutions in drugstores here in Canada
-- I usually use the 990ure stuff rather than the 70%, to ensure that water
doesn't get into parts and perhaps contribute to corrosion).
Good luck.
