    As others have mentioned earlier in this thread, methanol is
    poisonous and must be handled with care. 

    An interesting fact that I don't believe has been mentioned yet,  is
    that when methanol is burned it produces two harmless substances,
    water and carbon dioxide. 

    I have been using methanol for years to mix my anti fire scale.  I
    believe it can be used very safely if it is handled with care in a
    ventilated studio.
