What happened to denatured alcohol?
I'm in US-GA and I cannot find denatured alcohol locally. WTF happened? I need something 100% alcohol for cleaning electronics.

My local electronics store has 99.5% isopropyl alcohol, it works great.
We don't really have electronics stores here anymore. The highest I've seen locally is 91%, and while it does kind of clean it off, denatured alcohol has always worked a lot better for me so it's disappointing to see that it's gone. I'll probably just order some online. But still, I'd be interested in knowing why.
I got my 99.9% isopropyl off amazon from MGchemicals, big bottle but its nice to have
Very few people bother with hobbyist electronics anymore. It's not surprising that 100% alcohol is dead in retail stores. Most demand for it today is related to disinfectants.
