91 will work, might take just slightly more time for the water to evaporate as well. You can get the premium shit at places that sell it as a computer parts cleaner.

You can ask CVS peeps to order it for you, they just don't stock it in store

yeah, mines one of them, have to drive 200 miles to get Everclear I never had much luck finding 99% ISO around here since the drug stores stopped carrying it. tried the hair/nail places but no luck. Found some vet supply houses that can get it online that was probably cheapest. Maybe electronic supply stores for cleaning stuff?

I've been using 91% ISO for the last 2 years since all the stores in my state stopped selling 99%. It works great, I get a full evap with no heat in 24-36 hours depending on how big of a batch I run.

ask for a product called DIESEL. its 173 proof iirc. found at most "party stores" liquor stores in the outskirts and the down town areas. 20.00 a 750ml bottle. works awesome for extracts. I use it all the time. and great for winterizing.

Dude, the 91% will work fine if that's all you can get. It would be ideal to have some 99% but I have used 91% for a long time with all of my trim and I get good quality loads of isohash. It does take a day or two to get a full evap but it comes out primo.
