After a lot of effort I found one solitary chemist in Hull which was willing to order a bottle for me. All I can suggest is that you try all of the pharmacists in you area, and if they don't stock it then ask if they'll order it for you.

I got mine from Boots prescription counter in the branch where I get all my medicines. They asked me what I wanted it for, so I told them. It helps if they know you.

When you find one that is helpful in ordering the wierd stuff, put your regular business there way as well, otherwise they will be priced out by a supermarket pharmacy !

99% Isopropanol (IPA) is available on open shelves in Canadian drugstores. It makes a good mild solvent that doesn't harm most plastics. A watered- down version (70%?) is sold as Rubbing Alcohol.
