[pct-l] Shipping Alcohol

>Here is what I havebeen able to find out
>
>Alcohol can be shipped through the post office, the bad news is that it
>isn't quite as easy as putting it in your resupply boxes
>
>It has to be shipped separately, and if you are shipping less than 1 quart,
>you can use a plastic container (or metal if you prefer).  It has to be
>sealed in the primary container, that has to be in turn sealed in another
>container.  This is surrounded by enough absorbant material to absorb all
>the alcohol should either containers leak.  This whole thing must then be
>sealed in a third container (presumably the shipping container.)
>
>Near the address(below?), the container must be labeled "denatured
>alcohol", flash point given, and"ORM-D". Shipping must be surface mail
>only.
>
>Does anyone know the flash point of denatured alcohol.  Probably depends on
>how long the container has been open and how much water it has absorbed.
>It is not on the container and the Company is closed right now.
>
>I am starting to feel overwhelmed. One day left.
