Anyone know how much of it I should add to aloe gel to make something similar to this:View attachment 2081813

Bragger! and one for good measure!

Seriously though....it will be runnier but I would go with 7/8 cup alcohol and 1/8 cup aloe. You don't want to dilute it much at all or you'll drop below the effective % of alcohol.

I can still rebuild an automatic transmission, just saying.

I have a Ford windstar that needs a transmission rebuild... I would need something to test it after the rebuild right? Before installing it back in the car.

The aloe is just to keep it from drying out your hands. What you have is already formulated to be hand sanitizer, you could probably use it "as is." To make your own, you start with 90% rubbing alcohol and aloe.

It was not unusual for me to make 2 or 3 runs a week into town, though our Walmart is about 30 miles away. That's where we usually do all our shopping. Now we make a list and DH goes ONCE a week or less. Like a lot of stores, the WM is limited-entry, one-way. You can't go back for something you miss, so ordering ahead and curbside puckup makes more sense. We don't eat a lot of meat. We have plenty of beans. The New Normal is weird but we're adapting. God willing, we'll survive.

I really hate that aspect of this situation. It's almost impossible to get a pickup time and I hate standing in line waiting to get inside. I'm avoiding that place like the plague.

We've got a family friend who works in Sam's Club who will help us get toilet paper.

My sons job is as a purchasing agent. His company employees started asking for hand sanitizer......(they have many sinks and plenty of soap). Yup he had to look hard!
Then he walked past the electrical department.....where they were cleaning parts with alcohol....99% freaking alcohol! He discovered they had a stash for cleaning parts that was bought several years ago.....in a 5 gallon drum! They still had 4 gallons!

They are using it straight......although they were also reminded that proper hand washing is still the recommended method from the CDC.

Most of the recipes I've seen using 71% or stronger are 2/3 alcohol to 1/3 aloe.
I've also seen some dispute that for 71% it dilutes it a little too much, so with yours being 80% you'd probably be fine with the 2/3 to 1/3 ratio.

I usually just grow long keeping onions but had to try alisia craig last yr to see how big they get. Thought about chopping and freezing them then read dehydrating them they are like fresh so I did up a couple gallon bags. DW made me run it in the garage though . Been wanting to make a solar dehydrator and do a lot of other stuff.

Yeah... onions and garlic means banishing it to... somewhere NOT in the house.
