NOVELTY - Preparation (m1) of an alcohol composition involves selecting an alcohol dissolvable chelating agent; forming a metal complex with a metal atom; dissolving the metal complex in the alcohol; and reacting the alcohol to form a composition selected from a gel and solid, where the composition containing the metal complexes may burn with a characteristic color of the metal atom in a flame.    USE - For the preparation of an alcohol composition useful as a carrier for different incenses, as condensed fuel for cooking and heating, and as a solid transparent plastic.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides shelled alcohol gel or shelled alcohol solid, which allows for storage of chemical energy for very long period, with almost no evaporation of the alcohol gel or alcohol solid. The method solves the problem of lack of solidity of the gel; and solves the problem when a soft gel melts during the burning process. The method solves the problem of using a fuel to be effectively used without a wick by delivering the fuel to a burn surface. The fuel tends not to separate from the gel on standing or upon the application of pressure. It will consequently be subjected to less vigorous regulations for transport and storage.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a first alcohol composition (c1) comprises an alcohol with at least one carbon atom and containing (wt.%) a suspension of modified cellulose (1 - 13) which has been cross-linked by a metal hydroxide (2.5x10-5 - 1.25x10-3 wt.%) and distilled water (2 - 5). The distilled water increases the transparency of the alcohol composition;    (2) formation of a shell on an alcohol composition, involving: dipping (c1) into a solvent consisting of cyanoacrylate monomer then coating the alcohol composition with cyanoacrylate; and forming an essentially cyanoacrylate shell on the alcohol composition;    (3) method for using a cyanoacrylate shell to reduce evaporation, involving applying the cyanoacrylate shell to an alcohol solid; and reducing evaporation of alcohol from the alcohol solid where the cyanoacrylate shell is relatively impervious to the evaporation of alcohol molecules;    (4) preparation (p1) of (c1) involving providing a suspension solution of modified cellulose polymer and alcohol; mixing a metal hydroxide solution with the suspension solution; and adding distilled water to add transparency of the gel;    (5) second alcohol composition comprising an alcohol with at least one carbon atom, modified cellulose (1 - 13 wt.%) which has been cross-linked, and cyanoacrylate. The cyanoacrylate to alcohol volume ratio is 1:1, with a ratio range of 1:5 - 5:1 by volume;    (6) preparation (p2) of the second alcohol composition involving providing a suspension solution of modified cellulose polymer and alcohol; mixing cyanoacrylate monomer solvent with the suspension solution; and slowing rate of a reaction of the cyanoacrylate and the suspension solution by maintaining a low temperature; and    (7) preparation (p3) of a third alcohol composition additionally involving providing a suspension solution of a modified cellulose polymer and an alcohol; mixing a cyanoacrylate monomer solvent with the suspension solution; and slowing rate of a reaction of the cyanoacrylate and the suspension solution with the addition of at least one acetone-structure-containing compound in the cyanoacrylate monomer solvent where the reaction may be performed at room temperature.
