Stop. Using. Methanol.

From The Washington Post...
The teacher mixed boric acid with methanol, Foster said, and tried to light it on fire. Nothing happened, so the teacher added more alcohol and lit the mixture again. Then there was an explosion.
It's so frickin' simple, just stop using methanol.

Even the ACS knows it.
