Hey folks i bought some Isopropyl Alcohol the other day with the 10% off site wide coupon and paid $13.50 and i thought i was winning with that deal. This deal is even cheaper amazing price.

5L of Isopropyl Alcohol for $9.50 using the 5% coupon PULL5 (minimum spending $30). The seller's usual price is $24.95 the page says free shipping. Note also the multi-buy offer: Buy 3 eligible items, save $5.

I mainly use isopropyl alcohol to clean electronics like PCB's and LED's some times my screens but seeing as i now have so much i may splurge :P

(I bought mine from Sydney Solvents yesterday and it arrived today.)

Mod edit: Note if you purchase 4 or more, or combine with other items to reach $30 spend you can use PULL5 for a further 5% off.

Original PULL5 5% off Sitewide at eBay Deal Post

    Good if you want to refresh and reuse your kfc wet wipes?

    Then refresh and reuse again to remove makeup and eyeliner?

      How does that work exactly? This evaporates very quickly, so how do you reseal the packet?

    With all of these seemingly informative comments, no one even mentioned that it's primarily use for disinfecting wounds such as cuts, scratches and bruises. It also great for rubbing it all over the body for a truly clean and refreshing feel. Hence Isopropyl Alcohol is also widely known as Rubbing Alcohol.

    If all you want to use it on stuff such as electronics, taps. showers. glass and any other objects, then using metho is the perfect solution for them.

    • Comfortably Numb on 28/06/2018 - 23:19

      Yeah, I'm unsure why there are so many comments about using it for cleaning when ethanol is cheaper and more effective.

      • aussieprepper on 28/06/2018 - 23:31

        Ethanol leaves a residue like an oil layer its shiny and slippery.

        Pure alcohol doesn't leave any residue its very clean and dry extremely quick also its non conductive.

        I am talking about cleaning in electronics usage.

          Ethanol is pure alcohol.

          Pure ethanol doesn't leave a residue as it all evaporates.

          4L for $13.41.. >95% ethanol, <5% demineralised water. SDS sheet.

          Not as cheap as this deal, but obviously this supply is limited whereas it's that price at Bunnings weekly.

          @Comfortably Numb:

          That's not pure ethanol though.

          It also has bitrex and cyclohexane added.

          Bitrex can leave a residue / taste.

        • mattythecapybara on 05/07/2018 - 01:59

          @Comfortably Numb: You can't get pure ethanol without paying through the teeth due to alcohol tax, that's exactly why IPA is used when low residue is required.

    • Necron on 28/06/2018 - 23:26

      As I understand it, rubbing alcohol generally contains ~70% isopropyl alcohol with the rest being water, additives, etc.
      Generally you want more alcohol and less non-alcohol when cleaning electronics, or anything of that nature, hence why the purer version for sale here is used.

  • Banj0 on 28/06/2018 - 23:21

      Yes…good value. I'd been meaning to get some bulk isopropyl alcohol, so bought some anyway. Had a $30 voucher from eBay for a recent selling promotion, and cap it off with the $5 discount for 3. This stuff is very handy…I'm always using it for cleaning the surface of something or to clean up after using some glues, and my wife can use it in the garden to clean tools (prevent spreading infection between plants with secateurs and saws and whatnot).

  • unelectric on 29/06/2018 - 09:02

    • deadpoet on 29/06/2018 - 11:17

      It's because we Aussies always get shafted with the price for IPA. Overseas such as in the USA, it's cheap as chips and sold everywhere, but here it's hard to get and very expensive because reasons.

          Removing a discount does not constitute "price jacking", so removing some doesn't constitute "semi-price-jacking". Diluting the term just makes price jacking's illegality seem ok.

        • djprima on 29/06/2018 - 16:57
          -2

          @mattythecapybara: well, we don't even know what's the cost price so reducing the discount while the item is popular is still price jacking to me

        • NobalaKoba on 02/07/2018 - 21:37

          @djprima: Price jacking is when a price is raised due to a sale. An example is stores increasing their prices the day before a 10% off sale, reducing the discount and sometimes even negating it completely.

          In this case it's just a popular item that went on sale and then the sale ended, completely normal and no price jacking.

    • Russ on 29/06/2018 - 14:30

      If you want to de-flux PCBs, you don't need IPA. Methylated spirits is suitable. Let the PCB soak in metho for about a minute, then use a dishwashing scrubbing brush to dislodge the loosened flux. Let it drip-dry for five minutes or so, then use a spray bottle of metho to give the PCB a second rinse, letting the metho run off.

      For an even cleaner result, skip the spray bottle, and use a foam of Safewash 2000 (it's a detergent designed for flux removal). Put a small amount in a jar, and apply with a ~25mm-wide paintbrush, in a way that produces foam. Leave sit for 2-3 minutes and wash off in water. Produces squeaky-clean PCBs.

      Make sure you use gloves when handling the metho, and check each time that your gloves haven't developed holes. Otherwise, the denaturant in Metho will seep through any holes into your skin, and your fingers will taste foul for days. No eating food with your hands!

      Also note that if you do this outdoors, due to the odour, I have found that metho attracts wasps. Do it in a well-ventilated room with fly screens.

      Iodine (Idopher?). Also Starsan goes along way, as well as Hydrogen Peroxide.

      • peteru on 01/07/2018 - 01:50

        Iodine based sanitisers will stain, so that's not an option on most surfaces. The acidity in Starsan is also not great for things like kitchen bench tops. Same goes for H2O2, which can bleach things. I do use Starsan and H2O2 on a lot of stuff, but having Isopropyl available on a wiper gives me an option that will dry very quickly. Both Starsan and H2O2 treated surfaces will stay moist much longer.
