Another thing I was wondering was if the ingredients in homemade sanitizer will separate over time requiring you to shake well before using?

Probably. But what I remember most is that the ingredients had to be at least 100Proof? Is that right?

The homemade sanitizer is a ruse.

I made some today. The whisking was superior to stirring. The gel never consistently blended. I dont think youd get the consistency I got by shaking.
I plan to use two applications for sanitizing whenever we need it.

what is the ratio you use? Specifically the alcohol to gel?

It’s nigh unto impossible to get a hold of rubbing alcohol right now, but you can use vodka, instead. Aloe Vera gel is still available, but the price has gone up.

You could try using a silicone cooking spatula to scrape the bowl. They work well getting the last bit of cake batter out of the mixing bowl.

How to make your own hand sanitizer
Place 2/3 cup of rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol) in a bowl
Add 1/3 cup of aloe vera gel and mix well
Add 5-10 drops of essential oil and mix again
Ensure alcohol equals to 60% of mixture
Use a funnel to transfer to a liquid soap container
Ensure container is tightly sealed
Ethanol can be used instead of rubbing alcohol
Alternative non-alcohol methods swap one tablespoon of witch hazel and half a teaspoon of tea tree oil for the rubbing alcohol

Can you use a smooth sided mixing bowl and then a rubber spatula to scrape the reminder out? I use these to get the last little bit out of peanut butter jars, and they get almost all of the PB...scrapes the last out fairly "clean".

Even shaking a soapy mixture causes expansion - easiest way to handle it is to do some shaking, open the cap to release pressure and repeat a time or two - once all is mixed and ready to go, you can then leave the cap on and feel secure it won’t keep building pressure.

Normal vodka...not enough.
Go with Everclear (150 proof, no need for the 190 proof stuff). The Aloe Vera (or other substances) just thicken, add some scent and moisturizer.
Youd probably be fine with just a squirt of Everclear on your hands.
