I use denatured alcohol in my shellac finishes on my woodworking projects. Is it plastic safe? I believe it also has some methanol mixed in with the ethanol.
Ethanol will damage acrylic plastics...it was a sad experience.

Was it pure ethanol or denatured ethanol? What type of acrylic plastic was it? There are many different formulas for denatured alcohol. Some of the formulas contain compounds that will damage styrene and maybe some acrylic plastics. Other formulas do not. If isopropyl alcohol (IPA) does not harm the plastic, pure alcohol probably will not damage it either.

It was lab grade ethanol, and a cast acrylic cylinder with a bonded sheet acrylic bottom. The cylinder was filled with ethanol and after several hours it started to craze, then crack, and then just fell apart in large chunks.
