[Histonet] Absolute with methanol

[Pamela Marcum]

It should not be a problem as most reagent alcohol contains both methanol and isopropanol at roughly 90% ETOH with 5% of each of the others.  This way the alcohol is not taxed as it is unfit for human consumption according to the ATF.  The goal was to make an alcohol we could afford to buy in the for profit sector that met the non-consumption rule, since it is poison, so to speak.

Does anyone knows if there is any problem using Absolute ETOH with 
Methanol instead Absolute alone when it comes to make any staining 
solutions? 
Thank you.
