Methanol is slightly nasty. Good old-fashioned ethanol (as in vodka, denatured 
alcohol, ...) works just as well and won't make you blind if you should 
accidentally drink it...

Don't know about where you live, but here (Sweden) you can get it from petrol 
stations, used for cleaning windows, burning in camping stoves, dissolving 
acrylic paint, putting in the windscreen washer etc etc.
