    Home made hand sanitiser

    The shops ran out of hand sanitiser gel ages ago but my local chemist had a hand sanitiser spray. The hand sanitiser gel I bought before had ethyl alcohol but the spray had isopropyl alcohol. Do any of you know if IPA is as effective as EA? The reason I ask is that I have about two litres of IPA in my workshop - I use it as a cleaning solvent to clean off sticky labels, clean fingerprints from CDs and DVDs, clean tape heads and so on.
    Any idea what I could mix IPA with to make it more gel like? I'd need about two parts IPA to one part something else to get a suitable alcohol concentration.
