Chemicals for Entomology
Inflammable chemicals such as Ethyl Acetate and Isopropanol cannot be sent through the post and may be difficult to obtain. Isopropanol is used in the electronics industry for cleaning printed circuit boards and may be bought from an electronic equipment supplier such as Maplin if there is a store nearby. Branch locator at http://www.maplin.co.uk/store-finder
. 'Acetone-free Nail Varnish Remover' may consist mainly of Ethyl Acetate and be an easier obtained substitute (check the list of ingredients). It usually contains some water so if used in a killing jar the jar may need to be dried out occasionally if it becomes too wet.
