Yes I think more like 98%. Can’t get back to 2017 on eBay.

I bought mine early 2018 (and have used about 0.1%) @£8.29 for 1L incl p&p

Whilst some are charging around that, back in March when I checked at the start, the price was astronomically high for 1L - some as high as £99!

Hi
Never use Surgical Spirit only use 99.9% IPA or Meths.

Medicine cabinet 1. Model rail 0 !

Thanks for the advice, I have taken a look on line. Not that I am a sceptic but it seems to be a choice between overpriced , watered down or both . That was why I went the Boots route originally.

Any supplier recommendations ?

Thanks again

On that link a litre is only a pound more than 500ml.

I got some at our local hardware store - overpriced at £8.20 for 250mL but as stated and from past experience it lasts forever.

My last bottle was a litre for €3 in Cyprus a good 5-6 years ago, but I wasn’t allowed to bring it back due to shipping restrictions - should have just hid it from the packers.
