rubbing alcohol didn't work for me

I was thinking of trying a spray bottle. We keep it in one to spray our windshields in the winter. Just have to find 91% Do you have to ask for it, I've never even seen it.

Most stores sell 50% or 70% including Walmart, but if you look in the first aid section of Walmart pharmacy or any other big pharmacy then you should be able to find 91%. It usually doesn't say "rubbing alcohol" on it since the stronger mixture is almost pure Isopropyl Alcohol.

I would be very cautious about using a spray bottle with this stuff. A mist pattern would cause a lot of premature evaporation and thus you would get less liquid down into the lump and you might have a dangerous flash over from the excess vapors if you light it too soon. A single-stream spray pattern might be better but still a lot of the liquid would lay on top of the lump instead of down in the lump. It would also be harder to apply it evenly and measure how much you were using.

If you don't have a 60 ml syringe then try using a meat injector or a turkey baster. The syringes are available on the web for less than $1 each. I found 5 syringes for $5 on ebay. Many pharmacies or veterinarians will give you one for free if you ask them. Just mention that you don't need the needle tip and they typically give them out without any issues.

Here is the exact bottle sold at Walmart:

Usually $1.50 - $1.99 for 32 oz. which last me about 15-20 cooks. Not bad for $0.10 per cook.

LOL, obviously I've never looked very hard. There it was right in front of my face.

And the spray bottle worked awesome. I took the nozzle off and tested the spray, seemed really good. I didn't count how many sprays I did 3-4. Counted to 20 and flipped the match. Of course hubby standing there laughing waiting for me to blow something up.
