Are you using isopropyl Alcohol like the kind you buy at a drug store?
Dosnt this make your sub smell like alcohol or can you use something like bacardi 151?
Is it better to have a higher percentage of Alcohol or a lower one?

I've only heard of isopropyl 70% being used(do not use the 99% kind). Yeah, stuff smell like alcohol for a sec, but since most of it burns off it's not really a problem. I haven't tried Bacardi on skin, wouldn't recommend it personally. I used to use lighter fluid on myself when I was younger. Strongly advice against using that on a sub though. It gets hot, does burn the skin a bit, and you have to _be_ the person on fire to really know how fast to put it out imho. The potential for turning yourself or your sub into a roman candle is way too high. The same may be true with Bacardi.

As to the breathing of air by living critters, there are beasties that live at the bottom of the sea(on volcanic cracks) for whom oxygen is still deadly poison. Used to be all life on earth was allergic to the stuff. Oh, and fire _does_ for all intents and purposes, breathe air. Oxygen in fact. The only scientific argument for fire not being alive would be a morphological one. It doesn't have a body with the physical characteristics shared by all other identified life on earth. And even that classification is somewhat fuzzy, as Viruses don't really share all the scientific classifications of life...just most of em(kinda like fire). Are they alive? I guess it all depends on your point of view.

i humbly disagree...
Fire may not fit these as criteria as mammals do, but fire breathes oxygen (the same part of "air" that sustains life in mammals).
When flamables are the stimulus, fire definately responds, just as it responds (by avoiding) wetness and fire retardants.
Living in southern California i have seen too many out-of-control fires to say "fire does not move"

The statement about fire not containing cells facinates me... how do we know this? Is fire captured and examined for the presence of cells? Does anyone know if such an examination of fire has actually occured? If so, how did they capture the fire to test it?

Ooooooh the thoughts of a sleepless slave...

Playing with the search function I found this post...

Andrea,

They are not difficult to make them, though I only attempted once. For myself, I find it easier to learn certain things when I am in a hands-on type of environment. Some things I can learn from books, how to make something I prefer to learn by watching and doing.
