That would take a lot of alcohol to fill one of those!

Ahhhhhhhh, 7.8 ounces. That could make a complete class assignment!

Oh wait. That's the weight. 3 Liters!!

Could always walk or crawl home, depending if I took the short cut. Doing some figuring here.

Better stay with the flask and straw. Less weight.

For less potent drinks, juice, water, ice tea, etc... on a long bike ride it is mighty handy!!!

I guess, if we hiked here, it might be nice to have 3 liters of Screw Drivers, once we arrived.

Depends. 70% would probably be less aggressive than 91%. It does add a bit of dispersion on the surface and can effect how the paint is absorbed into the paper. I'll try and find a technique, which uses alcohol as a carrier. I've seen it used on Yupo ( Plastic ) paper, but not on cotton. Thanks. I needed an assignment.

I'm looking forward to trying the techniques.
