can anyone confirm if Gin would work well as the "Grain alcohol" needed to sterilize the gel?

70% alcohol has better antimicrobial activity than higher or lower % ethanol so 151 would be best. Having said that, 40% should do OK.

I like the penny idea. While I've never tested it to see how well it kills mold, it is certainly goof-proof.

Where are you guys finding the gel?(cracked ice etc) I have looked in two crafts stores, Walmart and Target and can not locate anything of the sort. When I ask the people working in the store I usually get that crossed eyed look to boot. Anyone know of a particular chain store that I can find them?
