Some claim that the SLX and and other brands contain too much methanol as well as other unhealthy bi-products from the denaturing process? Looking thru the MSDS for these products is quite difficult for someone who hasn't refreshed his organic, physical and bio chem in almost 4 decades.
Those will have at least 90% ethanol and methanol, the other 5% or 10% of organic compounds might be responsible for your "varnish".
