IPA substitute for wash?

Bad time to set up my CW1, with the corona virus IPA is off the shelves in the US (crazy hoarders). Can I substitute denatured ethanol for the IPA?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe, 

I have used Methylated spirit, and Bioethanol, with no obvious difference.

But independent of what you are using keep in mind that if it comes into contact with uncured resin, it becomes hazardous waste and must be disposed of at appropriate collection points.
