    I think denatured alcohol is also known by wood alcohol. It has
    something added to it to make it poisonous to consume. However,
    regular grain alcohol that is 180 proof works well, such as
    Everclear, which is cheap, and cheaper by far than denatured
    alcohol. Isopropyl is only 14% alcohol (38 proof), which means it
    has a lot of water in it. After the alcohol evaporates, you're left
    with water slurry, which is not as effective.
