what do you need it for? i.e. how pure does it need to be? Certain types of surgical spirit or rubbing acohol contain it, but they may also contain methanol or ethanol. I have some Boots surgical spirit that contains it, but by the smell of it it also contains oil of wintergreen (salicylic acid)

If you know anyone who works in printing, they'll usually have the odd 25 gallon drum of it lying around

Farnell is quick and easy to use, just order online. I got IPA spray from them in the past. Minimum 10 quid CC order.

As stated above, they do. Can even order through their web site. Only thing they do different for private sales is charge delivery which they don't do if you have an account and DPC with them.
