    Denatured alcohol is a common name for ethyl alcohol with a small
    amount of methyl (wood) alcohol added to make it poisonous (This is
    where the methylated spirits name comes from) so you can't drink it
    safely. This is done to get around the taxes that are collected on
    alcohol of the drinking variety.  Rubbing alcohol is not what you
    want. It is isopropyl alcohol mixed with lots of water. 

    Look for it in your hardware store as shellac thinner. This is the
    most common use for it.
