Methylated spirits are a type of denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol is any grain alcohol that has been rendered undrinkable by adding other chemicals. If the additive is methanol, then it is often given the name "methylated spirits". In the cosmetics industry, various chemicals are used that are not toxic. For example, denatured alcohol designated as "SD Alcohol 40B" contains a very small quantity of denatonium benzoate, an extremely bitter substance.

Does Methylated spirit leave a residue?
It shouldn't, if it really is methylated spirit (a mixture of methanol and ethanol). However, some people... unfortunately very likely the same ones who tend to call it "methylated spirit" instead of "denatured alcohol", or even better give an actual formula... use the term generically for any denatured alcohol, including those that do leave a residue.

While both are types of alcohol, their compositions and uses differ significantly.
Is methylated spirit the same as rubbing alcohol?
No, they are not the same, isopropyl alchohol is a pure chemical substance or molecule, C3H7OH, sometimes otherwise known as Isopropyl Alchohol, Rubbing Alchohol, Hydroxypropane, etc, citing, http://chemicalland21.com/petrochemical/ISOPROPANOL.htm The above page also provides boiling points and melting points etc. Methylated Spirits or, (in the U.S.A Denatured alcohol) are a mixture of several different substances, usually complying to a generally accepted formula of, citing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol The above page also provides the various formula % information of the various chemicals used to 'denature' or 'methylate' the ethanol. Ethanol is the consumable vaiety of alchohol. Methanol is poisonous. Interestingly, it appears to be the case that for a sever case of methanol (moonshine) poisoning, the immediate first aid response should be copius amounts of ethanol, drinking (legal) alchohol, apparently the ethanol will block the effects of the methanol. Under the heading, Formulations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol You will find the standard formula for ingredients of 'Methylated Spirits', 'Denatured Alchohol' or 'Metho'. vk3kuf

Why does ice float on water but sinks in methylated spirits?
The density of rubbing alcohol is 75% that of water. Thus ice (frozen water which is roughly equal in density to liquid water), sinks in rubbing alcohol since it has more mass per cubic millimeter than the alcohol does. In order to float, the object would have to be less dense than the alcohol per cubic space.
Why does your hand feel cold when you drop methylated spirit on it?
methylated spirit is in fact methanol added to ethanol (usually 10% methanol is used). The liquid evaporates which means that the liquid converts to a gaseous state. This process requires energy which it extracts from your body in the form of heat. This same process cools you down when you sweat. The reason that spirits feel colder than say room temperature water is that the boiling point of alcohol is much lower than water(about 78 degrees C for ethanol and 100 degrees C for water). This means that at room temperature the partial pressure of ethanol is higher which means more of it is evaporating from your skin than water, requiring more energy(which makes your hand feel cold).
