1 gallon goes for $55 on amazon

... its 99.9%! I like that!!!
No no no no no......If you go to your local supermarket or Walgreens or CVS, and buy 8 little one pint bottles which is a total of one gallon, they cost (I just checked) about $2 each, for a total of $16. That is for 70%, which will do the job. The 90% will cost about 50 cents more per bottle.
Or, search "isopropyl alcohol" and click on the ads that come up in the listing first. Be sure to check whether they include shipping charges in the price, some do, some don't.
70% will do the job, and is cheaper. Also, you don't need electronics grade, that is super-ultra clean (filtered out all dust particles). Regular USP household grade will do.
One comment I saw on a listing makes a very good point. When shipping hazardous materials (and alcohol is, it's flammable and most are poisonous), the larger the container, the more shipping will cost because the hazard increases, and so you get surcharges included in the shipping. Ordering a whole bunch of little bottles won't cost you extra in hazardous shipping charges. Ordering one large bottle will. (Thinking is, if a bottle springs a leak, a little bottle does less damage, less likely all the little bottles would leak vs one big one.)
Cheapest will probably be to go down to the local store and buy them out. Might work to ask if they have an unopened case box in the back that they could just sell you rather than taking all the little bottles off the shelf.
Gee, price of IPA has gone up quite a bit in the last 11 years. If I still worked at the place, I probably could have gotten you a 5 gallon bucket for free, guys would have put it right in my car for me.
