Glen,
Where are you located? I'm just getting started and will only be making small batches. Plus I plan on recovering most of the methanol after processing. I found places that will sell methanol to the public in small amounts. Bitner Automotive in Trenton has it for around $5.47 a gallon (bring your own gas can or buy a 5 gallon one there for $26.50). Extreme Machines on Rt 33 outside Hightstown has it for $73.09 for 5 gallons, Raceway Park sells it but I have been unable to contact them yet. I also heard of a company in Trenton called Ensingners but can't find a number to call.
