Does anyone know where we can get alcohol in bulk with perhaps local shipping? The shipping for alcohol kills us and I'm tired of wiping walmart out every time I go in there.

I don't know who you've got for sign suppliers but I get alcohol from our supplier that we get daily deliveries from.
I'm assuming you are looking for isopropyl? You can get denatured alcohol from automotive paint suppliers.

Should be a chemical supply warehouse in your area. Then you can buy it 55 gallons at a time. Drum should be around 700 bucks.
i think we run into the issue of alcohol being a flammable liquid
in the 1970's i did some ordering for our largest client, who had a chain of dairy stores
you couldn't send vanilla extract through the tunnels.
one day i was with a friend from DOT and i opened a gallon of vanilla and showed him that it was impossible to light it.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER. it begins and ends with the flammable sticker

I think it's water. When we buy the 99% we cut it with water to make it 70%

All alcohol must not be made the same because it costs us a lot more than what you guys are talking about. Or I'm just getting ripped off.

my daughter's best friends parents (second cousins' step sister) have a pool supply company. I'm going to check with them.

shouldn't have to cut with water if you're cleaning with haste & intent. the "hot" isopropyl will, however, burn polycarb & paint surface finishes if mindlessly sprayed and allowed to bead for an extended period on the surface. Spray & wipe or spray the rag & wipe, and the goooood stuff is good for everything except flame-polished acrylic edges.

Yea, we have a face shield in here now that needs graphics on it and there is a huge warning label about applying alcohol at all on it. My partner used to own a crime scene clean up and he has a face shield that is messed up from alcohol.
