USING ALCOHOL OR DENATURED ALCOHOL

[Guest guest]

Girls - This info was on another list I'm on. This person wrote the

ATF in regards to using alcohol in products and below is ATF's

response. Is this info you all knew about already? I'm still sort of

confused. I haven't used any kind of alcohol in my products yet but

am still searching for recipes for linen sprays and such. I just thought

some of you might interested in this.
