Hi Dorothy here is the recipe for alcoholic formalin:
Formaldehyde 37%-40%...............................200 ml
Ethyl alcohol abs.........................................1300 ml
Distilled water..............................................500 ml

I use it in the place of 80% alcohol 
good luck
Mary
