Hi, Dale

    There is denatured alcohol, and then there is denatured alcohol. 
    Denatured alcohol is an alcohol, such as is used for drinking
    purposes, that has had a "denaturing" agent to it in order to make it
    poisonous to drink. There are a number of different denaturing agents
    that are used, depending on the intended end use. 

    What you get at the lumber store is not going to be the same stuff
    that you get at the pharmacy. It may not even be the same basic type
    of alcohol.  For your purposes, though, it may work OK. But I would
    very carefully check first, to make sure it is not (or does not
    contain) something like methanol, which can be absorbed through the
    skin and blind you. 

Margaret
