Not that you would want to use pure methylene chloride but The UK is
making it difficult to buy paint remover in paint shops and hardware
with it in it

what's supposed to be so dangerous about methylene chloride?

The fumes can kill you.


No they can't.


I have no skin in this game. The internet says they can, and have.

I worked in a lab for years that used it and must have
breathed in loads. It's only dangerous if it comes in contact with a
naked flame or red hot surface - it's not flammable but the heat causes
it to turn into something nasty - or that in combination with the air.


See my link.

I agree its safe if you aren't STUPID with it, but sadly peole are just
that.

I nearly pased out and died when visting a brewery - I wanted to get a
good sniff of the fermnentation vats. I got a lungful of pure CO2.

Its just as dangerous.
