Default RE: I live in a country where I can't get Methanol, any ideas for how to run a glow engine!

Have tried Metho (Metholated Spirits) with the castor oil. which on the label from memory states 95% (at least 95% ethanol)
Just will not run properly. When I was in Australia ran perfectly on 20% nitro.
Perhaps the Tmax engine for reliability runs lower compression and designed to run a higher nitro amount for reliability?????
Either way simply will not run reliably without nitro it seems.
