    Does the glycerine make the hand sanitizer's alcohol less prone to evaporation? If so would a large amount for this use be beneficial for storage?

      Burning alcohol indoors is 100% safe. Just make sure that it's not an airtight space. In other words, anything that has a flame must have oxygen to burn and consumes oxygen

    I don't know what the gunk is when your sanitizer burns down, but that isn't glycerin. Properly made Glycerin burns very well & cleanly, and is oil based, not water based, & burns without residue- especially if you add water to the mixture. The newest Diesel trucks & F1 cars use a mixture of it with their fuel & it's considered to be the perfect fuel for those engines, although it is preheated to around 200°F prior to being injected into the cylinders. It can also be burned as fuel just by itself. Formula-E (of the Afore-mentioned F1 Racing) partnered with Aquafuel to develop a glycerin only generator that they could tow when traveling from one venue to another & for off-road races they endorse.
    It's used in tons of other things too; a few chainsaws (mixed with the oil, just like you would usually do) as a lightweight grease in low power fan assemblies (only if they don't generate much heat).
    It is also about 49% of what's in "Vape fluid" with the remaining 49% being Polyethylene Glycol & the last 2% is Nicotine or other drugs & flavorings.

      @@markylon Sorry, I get what you're saying here: That peoples should _eat_ the cheapest salt rather than sea salt, right? OK, well...I still disagree. First off, sea salt is not just sodium chloride. There are trace elements also, which vary depending on locality, season, etc.; I'd concede they don't matter in the diets of most nutritionally. Even so, sea salt where I am (Ottawa) is plenty cheap compared to the stuff mined from uraniumland with heavy machinery. There's also an issue of sustainability.
