In case anyone is interested, I have just realized that denatured alcohol
makes a good hand sanitizer.
Denatured alcohol (which is used for various purposes including stripping
paint and burning in some kinds of portable stoves) is mostly ethanol with
additives that make it poisonous to drink. (That allows it to be exempt
from drinking alcohol tax.) In doing a little researchers I've assured
myself that ethanol is both safe and effective for sanitizing our hands
(purell-style sanitizer uses either ethanol or propanol). It is commonly
used as a medical disinfectant.
Johnson's paint in Waltham has it by the gallon or the quart. When I was
at Home Depot last weekend, they also had it, though I don't know if they
do now. If you do go to Johnson's, they want you to call ahead. They
deliver to your car now and don't allow you to go into the store.
